Adams Added To Bears’ Roster

The Chicago Bears may still be reeling from their loss this weekend to the Atlanta Falcons, but that isn’t the only news. Prior to the game, the Bears added a new defensive end in the form of Gaines Adams. The edition comes as a bit of a surprise, as it isn’t one of the positions where injuries have been depleting the roster. The Bears gave up a 2010 second-round draft pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to secure Adams.

General manager Jerry Angelo has high hopes for him and said, “He’s a very good player. The two marquee positions in our scheme are the three-technique and the right end. If we can re-create history with him, I would go back to my days in Tampa when we brought in Simeon Rice. We had some success. Rod was there. That would be [the ideal situation] for us if something like that were to happen. We feel very strongly about our scheme, our coaches and the way we evaluate players.”

Adams has been with the Bucs since he entered the league in 2007. So far this season, he started five games and tallied 10 tackles, one sack and two passes defended. See him this season with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
