[March 12, 2019]    The Chicago Bears are signing cornerback Buster Skrine and running back Mike Davis, according to reports Monday.

 

Skrine, 29, is an eight-year pro who spent his first four seasons with the Cleveland Browns and the past four with the New York Jets. He has nine interceptions and 457 tackles in 123 games (85 starts).

The Bears are signing him to a three-year, $16.5 million deal, with $8.5 million guaranteed, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Davis agreed to a two-year contract worth $6 million, with incentives pushing it to as much as $7 million, according to Rapoport.

Davis, 26, had his best season as a pro in 2018, rushing 112 times for 514 yards and four touchdowns for the Seattle Seahawks, and also catching 34 passes for 214 yards and a score. He mostly served as the team's third-down back last season but also made two starts, including rushing 21 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns against Arizona on Sept. 30.

The 2015 fourth-round pick had only 54 carries with San Francisco in his first two seasons before gaining a total of 1,099 yards from scrimmage in two years in Seattle.
