Chicago, Ill. (104.3 The Score/WGR Sports Radio 550) - The Chicago Bears will sign veteran defensive back Cam Lewis on a two-year deal, a source told 104.3 The Score on Tuesday afternoon. Details of the salary weren't immediately known.
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.
