The Chicago Bears have signed LB Austin Calitro

The Chicago Bears made a late-night roster move on Monday, signing linebacker Austin Calitro, the team announced.

Calitro, an undrafted free agent out of Villanova in 2017, has appeared in 42 games, including nine starts, over the course of three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos from 2018-20.

Before that, he spent time with the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, Seahawks and Cleveland Browns from 2017-18, although he didn’t appear in a regular-season game.

Calitro’s best season came with the Seahawks in 2018, where he played in all 16 games, including five starts, where he totaled 45 tackles, three tackles-for-loss and 0.5 sack.

The Bears have parted ways with wide receiver Reggie David to free up a roster spot for Calitro.
