>>Bears Sign Former Dolphins RB Thomas

The Chicago Bears signed former Miami Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas to a one-year contract Thursday.

The Bears also signed safety Sherrod Martin to a one-year deal and waived kicker Jeremiah Detmer, quarterback Pat Devlin and tight end Jacob Maxwell.

Thomas, 27, started three games in four seasons for the Dolphins, who drafted him in the second round in 2011. He rushed for 1,480 yards and 10 touchdowns in 52 games for the team, including 168 yards and two scores in 12 games last season.

Martin spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, posting 16 tackles and one interception in 13 games, including two starts. The 30-year-old safety was drafted by Carolina in the second round in 2009 and spent four years with the club. He has eight career interceptions in 72 games.

>>Bengals Waive Former Ohio State QB Pryor

The Cincinnati Bengals waived quarterback Terrelle Pryor on Thursday.

The Ohio State product started nine games for the Raiders in 2013 and threw for 1,798 yards with seven touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 11 overall contests that season. He was traded to Seattle just prior to last year's NFL Draft but was released by the Seahawks and did not play in 2014.

A.J. McCarron and Josh Johnson are the quarterbacks behind starter Andy Dalton on the depth chart.

>>Giants Sign First Round Pick

The New York Giants signed tackle and the ninth overall pick in the NFL Draft, Ereck Flowers, on Thursday.

The Miami-Florida product, who did not use an agent to strike the deal, is slotted to be the starting left tackle on opening day after Will Beatty tore his pectoral muscle lifting weights on May 18.

Flowers may potentially be the third rookie to start on the Giants' offensive line in as many years, joining Justin Pugh (2013) and Weston Richburg (2014). New York begins the season in Dallas on Sept. 13.
