>>Bears Agree With Safety Rolle
The Chicago Bears have agreed to a three-year contract with three-time Pro Bowl safety Antrel Rolle.
The move, announced Wednesday night, adds a playmaker and stabilizing force to a defense that struggled in a big way the past two years. Chicago gave up the two highest points totals the past two years and is undergoing a makeover after a five-win season.
Chicago has a new general manager in Ryan Pace and coach in John Fox. The Bears also are switching from a 4-3 to 3-4 defense.
Rolle, a 10-year veteran, has 26 interceptions with the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants. He thanked the Chicago organization on Twitter and posted a picture showing him signing, with Bears helmet on the table. He wrote it was a "long, painful, and exhausting day," but both sides got what they want -- A Team that wants to win and a player that would give them everything he got to win."
>>Colts Add WR Johnson
The Indianapolis Colts added another veteran player to their roster on Wednesday.
Seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson has decided to join running back Frank Gore and defensive end Trent Cole in Indianapolis. Johnson reportedly signed a three-year deal worth $21 million with the Colts.
Johnson was released by the Houston Texans on Monday, ending his 12-year tenure there. He had been the longest-tenured player for the Texans, having been drafted third overall by the team in 2003.
The 33-year-old Johnson caught 85 passes for 936 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games last season. A four-time All-Pro selection, Johnson hauled in 1,012 passes for 13,597 yards and 64 touchdowns in 169 games with the Texans.
>>Former Packers LB Hawk To Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Bengals signed linebacker A.J. Hawk on Wednesday.
The team also re-signed offensive linemen Clint Boling and Eric Winston and cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris.
Hawk spent the past nine seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Last season, Hawk played 16 games (13 starts) and recorded 89 tackles. The Ohio State product tallied 921 tackles, 19 sacks and nine interceptions in 142 career games with the Packers.
