Joshua

Moore

A fifth-round pick by the Bears in 2010, Moore has recorded one tackle in three regular-season games.

The deal includes a $198,000 signing bonus, as he becomes the second Bears rookie to sign. Moore was a two-time honorable mention All-Big 12 pick at Kansas State, but he lacks size and ball skills. He’s practice squad material as a rookie.

Moore played at 5'10/168 at for the Golden Flashes, so he’s obviously got some work to do in the weight room. Also not a big-time playmaker, Moore managed just two picks as a senior and was a 2 1/2-year starter. We’ve got to think the Bears could’ve done better here. He’ll start out very low on the depth chart, pushing similar prospect D.J. Moore for a roster spot.

As long as Danieal Manning doesn’t lose out on the strong safety job and shift back to corner, Graham shouldn’t have a problem winning this gig in training camp. His only competition is journeyman Tim Jennings and practice squad candidate Josh Moore.

Moore was the Bears’ fifth-round pick last year, but appeared in just three games. His roster spot was needed for new addition Brandon Meriweather.
