With training camp less than two months away the Bears aren't done shoring up their roster.
The Bears announced on Thursday they have signed running back Daniel Thomas and safety Sherrod Martin to one-year contracts. Both players were with the Bears on a tryout basis during this week's minicamp.
Thomas, 27, was originally selected by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Kansas State. In 52 games with the Dolphins from 2011-2014 Thomas registered 1,480 rushing yards with 10 touchdowns and hauled in 55 receptions for three receiving touchdowns. Thomas notched 289 total yards and two touchdowns in 12 games with Miami last season.

Martin, 30, appeared in 72 games over six seasons with the Carolina Panthers (2009-13) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2014). He recorded 195 tackles, eight interceptions, 22 passes defended and 19 special teams tackles. In 13 games with the Jaguars in 2014 Martin had 14 tackles, one interception and two special teams tackles. Martin was selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Troy.
To make room for Thomas and Martin on the 90-man roster, the Bears waived quarterback Pat Devlin, tight end Jacob Maxwell and kicker Jeremiah Detmer.
