With the legal tampering period set to begin tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM CT, Ryan Poles has brought back a defensive lineman to the Bears.
Defensive end Daniel Hardy reached an agreement with the Bears on a two-year deal worth close to $5 million, but the deal can reach $6 million with incentives.
The Bears are re-signing DE Daniel Hardy to a two-year deal worth close to $5 million, per source. Max close to $6M with incentives.

Hardy coming back isn’t much of a surprise. He’s a valuable depth piece and special teamer for Chicago’s football team, and clearly, he doesn’t come with an expensive price tag. The 27-year-old DE played in all 17 games last season for the Bears, recording 22 tackles on the campaign.
With Hardy back in the fold, Ryan Poles is still faced with an urgent need to add along the defensive line. While I’m not sure I expect the Bears to get terribly flashy with their agreements over the next few days, I do believe even with Hardy’s new contract, some depth will be added for Chicago in the defensive trenches.
As mentioned above, legal tampering begins Monday morning at 11:00 AM CT. Technically, teams can’t sign new free agents officially until Wednesday, but by tomorrow, we’ll know the destinations for several players currently on the open market. We’ll have all that coverage tomorrow as things develop.
