The NFL’s new league year has officially kicked off, where signings and trades become official. That includes the Chicago Bears trading the No. 1 pick to the Carolina Panthers for two first-rounders, two second-rounders and receiver DJ Moore.
But there are now a slew of former Bears that are officially free agents after some pending transactions have become official at the start of the new league year, which includes linebacker Nicholas Morrow, wide receiver Byron Pringle and safety DeAndre Houston-Carson.
