Bears sign defensive back Cam Lewis on two-year deal

Lewis spent the first six years of his career with the Bills

Chicago, Ill. (104.3 The Score/WGR Sports Radio 550) - The Chicago Bears have signed veteran defensive back Cam Lewis on a two-year deal, as the NFL Free Agency period is officially open.

Lewis is a six-year veteran with 76 NFL games under his belt, all with the Buffalo Bills, including 10 starts over the last two seasons. Lewis has primarily been a reserve defensive back, while also filling a role on special teams. Lewis has played both cornerback and safety.

The Bears' deal with Lewis came shortly after Pro Bowl cornerback Nahshon Wright left Chicago by reaching a one-year deal with the New York Jets. It's unclear whether the Bears envision Lewis being in the mix to start or filling a reserve role.

The Bears can officially sign Lewis on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, when the new league year begins.
