Chicago Bears Quietly Plucked More Defensive Help From The UFL

While the UFL can’t be called a hotbed of future high-end talent, history shows that spring leagues still help uncover hidden gems. The Chicago Bears signed linebacker DeMarquis Gates in 2022. He became a solid backup on defense and a reliable special teams presence. It appears the Bears are climbing that vine again. According to multiple reports, they have signed Michigan Panthers linebacker Javin White to a new contract. He joins the team a couple of days into the start of training camp.

White is a fascinating name.
