When the NFL Draft ended Saturday night, the Bears set about negotiating undrafted free agent contracts and sending out tryout invitations for the team’s rookie minicamp at Halas Hall in two weeks.
The Bears have had some recent success in that department, landing backup quarterback Tyson Bagent as an undrafted free agent three years ago. Receiver Jahdae Walker was an undrafted free agent last year who caught six passes, including a touchdown against the Packers in December. Cornerback and special teams stalwart Josh Blackwell was an undrafted free agent signed by the Eagles who the Bears claimed in 2022.
Here’s a look at the Bears’ undrafted free agent moves:
• Louisville quarterback Miller Moss, who once backed up Caleb Williams when the two were at USC, is signing with the Bears. Moss threw for 2,679 yards and 16 yards last year after spending his first four seasons with the Trojans.
• Tulane cornerback KC Eziomume, who played in 11 games last year. He previously played at Albany and Alabama A&M.
• Wyoming guard Caden Barnett, who was a second-team all-Mountain West guard last year, is signing with the Bears as an undrafted free agent.
• Utah center Jaren Kump, who played in 59 games in a whopping six years with the Utes. He’s played center, guard and tackle.
• San Diego State kicker Gabriel Plascencia, who went 19-for-23 last year.
• Kennesaw State running back Coleman Bennett, who had 157 carries for 764 yards and 27 catches for 314 yards last year.
