Bears to sign DL James Lynch The Chicago Bears are preparing to add a defensive lineman to their roster as they finalize a one-year contract with veteran player James Lynch. The deal, which was confirmed by multiple media outlets, will place Lynch under the Bears’ coaching staff for the upcoming season. Lynch, who has spent the past two seasons with the Tennessee Titans, is set to join the team after appearing in all 34 games for the Titans. During his time with the team, he recorded 45 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The Bears’ decision to bring him on board marks a return to the NFC North for Lynch, a region where he previously played as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. Lynch entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick in 2020, showcasing his skills during his tenure with the Vikings. Over his time with the team, he accumulated 53 tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery. His experience in the league and familiarity with the NFC North could provide valuable depth to the Bears’ defensive line. The move signals the Bears’ continued efforts to strengthen their defensive unit ahead of the 2026 season. Lynch’s ability to contribute immediately, combined with his track record of playing in all games, positions him as a reliable addition to the roster.#chicago_bears #minnesota_vikings #tennessee_titans #james_lynch #nfc_north
