The Bears have signed wide receiver Onrea Jones and defensive tackle Tank Tyler to reserve/future contracts.

A third-round draft pick out of North Carolina State by Kansas City in 2007, Tyler has 79 tackles in 43 appearances and 19 starts with the Chiefs and Carolina Panthers.

Jones was an undrafted free agent of the Houston Texans in 2007 out of Hampton College. He has spent time with the Texans, San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Washington Redskins and Arizona Cardinals mostly on practice squads. He appeared in two games with the Cardinals this season but did not have a reception.

No offense to Tank Tyler, but Thump Belton still remains the coolest football name.

yeah while not earth shattering or even meaningful IT IS 2 guys added to the chicago bears team for next year.. so figured newsworthy for a chicago bears football board even if others do not.. oh well

Didn't mean the article. It's another case of another mans trash maybe another mans treasure.

Maybe it's a find and then again maybe it's just more training camp fodder. I guess we won't know which for another 7 months or so.
