Bears sign a pair of free agents

Though the period for signing men whose contracts expired at the end of the 2009 season doesn’t begin until March 5, players who have been released may be signed now.

And so the Bears have announced the acquisition of tight end Richard Angulo and receiver Eric Peterman to one-year contracts.

Angulo was out of football in 2009 after a five-year career that included stops in St. Louis, Minnesota, Chicago, and Jacksonville.  On two prior occasions, Angulo spent time with new Bears offensive line coach Mike Tice.

In 2008, Angulo appeared in 15 games with the only six starts of his career.

Peterman spent the 2009 preseason on the Bears’ roster, and the final week of the 2009 regular season on the Chicago practice squad.

    And they have the balls to raise ticket prices. I’m a life long Bears fan and it’s getting hard to root for a team that never makes any good off-season/draft moves. Completely half ass in the front office.

    The Packers are the joke of all pro sports teams.

    Drafted by Martz (’03). Spent time on the Bears practice squad under Lovie (’06). Been to two different stops with Tice.
    …just need to find a Marinelli tie to cover the head coach quartet.

    Is he the son of J. Peterman?

    If you’re a lifelong Bears fan, then you know this is how it is! Where’s Jim Finks when you need him???

    Martz will work wonders with Eric Peterman?

    These are just the additions that crybaby qb needed in Chicago.

    Angulo was on the Vikes’ practice squad fore a year — always hurt.

    How do you “acquire” someone on your own practice squad? Isn’t that just resigning him?

  16. Plankshelmet says: Feb 22, 2010 10:24 PM

    Who needs a 1st and 2nd round pick when you make a huge free agency splash like this. I’m going to get a block of hotel rooms reserved in Dallas for the Bears Super Bowl return this year. ……..hey anyone seen my crack pipe ?

    I thought the Bears were not going to go “Hog Wild” this year in Free Agency? Man, Jerry Angelo is great at smoke signals, they already signed two and FA hasn’t even begun!

    @ Treima
    I literally laughed out loud at that
