Davis getting interest from the Ny Giants...probably won't be back. After signing two significant needs in FA watch Bears draft a LB or CB...they're watching Arthur Brown, LB out of K-State today.

The Bears signed another free agent today- Steve Maneri, a 6-6, 280 pound tight end known for his blocking skills.

Kellen Davis visited the Cleveland Browns today but did not sign.
The Bears are reportedly looking at other free agent linebackers, now that Brian Urlacher is out of the picture.
