Bears sign cornerback and special teams contributor Nick McCloud to 1-year contract
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears signed cornerback and special teams contributor Nick McCloud to a one-year contract on Monday.
McCloud has played in 48 games and made 16 starts in four seasons with Cincinnati, the New York Giants and San Francisco. He has one interception and 10 passes defended in his career.
Chicago is set with Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson as starting cornerbacks and Kyler Gordon in the nickel slot. McCloud has played on at least 46% of his team's special teams snaps each of the past three seasons. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2021 after playing at North Carolina State and Notre Dame.
Chicago finished last in the NFC North at 5-12. The Bears hired coach Ben Johnson in January after firing Matt Eberflus during the season.
