Overview
- The Chicago Bears announced on Tuesday that they signed wide receiver Kaden Davis to a one-year contract and added him to the 90-man offseason roster.
- The team also signed linebacker Tony Fields II and waived linebacker Dominique Hampton and kicker Gabriel Plascencia to keep roster size at 90 players.
- Davis most recently played for the UFL’s Houston Gamblers, where he returned 10 kickoffs for 275 yards and caught four passes for 32 yards.
- His NFL experience is limited to brief stints with the Cleveland Browns and practice squads, totaling four regular-season games, 16 offensive snaps and 34 special-teams snaps.
- Chicago’s addition reflects two trends: using spring leagues as a talent pipeline for special teams and depth, and staff familiarity influencing evaluations after Davis spent time in a 2024 camp with coaches now on the Bears staff.
