The Bears didn't address defensive line during last week's NFL Draft, but general manager Ryan Pace added to its depth today.
The Bears agreed to a one-year deal with defensive lineman Jaye Howard, accorinding to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Howard appeared in eight games for the Chiefs last season, compiling 23 tackles and a sack. He was placed on the injured reserve in November after suffering a hip injury.
The 6-foor-3, 301-pound lineman had a career year in 2015, recording five sacks, forcing one fumble and recovering two others in 16 games. The 57 tackles were a career-high for the 28-year-old.
He was released by the Chiefs in April. Howard originally was drafted in the fourth round by the Chiefs.
