Bears, Pisa Tinoisamoa agree to 1 yr deal..
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on May 31, 2009
The Chicago Bears added some depth to their defense on Friday, as they signed free-agent linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa to a 1 year deal.
Tinoisamoa spent all 6 of his previous seasons with the St. Louis Rams & recorded a career-high 104 tackles & 3 sacks in 2008 .
The Bears also re-signed defensive tackle Israel Idonje to a 2-year extension.
Like Tinoisamoa, Idonje is also coming off a career season in which he recorded career-highs in tackles (28) and sacks (3.5).
With Pro-Bowlers Brian Urlacher & Lance Briggs already anchoring Chicago’s linebacking corps, Tinoisamoa might have to fight for a starting position alongside Nick Roach & Hunter Hillenmeyer.
