We knew it was going to come at some point, but the Chicago Bears have finally started to fill out the bottom of the roster. The draft simply could not fill all of the holes the team had, so they will have to bring in some veterans that are going to push for roster spots.
The team had workouts during their first voluntary OTA period and signed three players, Greg Stroman, David Moore, and Julie’n Davenport.
3. Greg Stroman, Cornerback
Greg Stroman is an interesting player to bet on, especially at just age 26. Stroman was a seventh-round pick from Virginia Tech. However, he was able to get on the field as a rookie with Washington. A promising rookie season in 2018 had hopes high for 2019, but a training camp injury ended the year before it ever started.
In 2020, he came back, but after just two games he saw another injury end his season. The team brought Stroman to camp in 2021, but let him go that summer.
Stroman went to Buffalo for a few weeks and ended his 2021 season on the Rams practice squad.
This is what you are getting with these signings. The upside is that if he can get back to his rookie season physical ability, he can be an NFL asset. The downside is that he has not shown that since 2018, and has been injured in two of the past three seasons.
Still, he was healthy and working back last season, so maybe 2022 will be his best chance to make a roster. Considering the Bears’ cornerback options, it is not impossible.
