After addressing the offense with the soon-to-be-official signing of quarterback Mike Glennon, the Bears have shifted gears to the defensive side of the football.
According to the Houston Chronicle, the Bears will sign veteran safety Quintin Demps to a three-year deal with an AAV of $4.5 million.
Demps also tweeted on Thursday morning that he's on his way to Chicago.

Demps, 31, started 13 games with the Houston Texans last season and had a career-high 6 interceptions — the Bears had 8 as a unit in 2016.
Demps' breakout season earned him the 12th-highest grade among safeties in 2016, according to Pro Football Focus.
