Ian Rapoport, reporter for NFL Network and NFL.com, tweeted earlier today in regards to Chicago Bears defensive lineman Israel Idonije;

Speaking of the #Bears: They still want to re-sign DE Israel Idonije and are trying to do so. Must fight off the #49ers to make it happen

Then shortly after that bit of news broke, Tennessee Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt tweeted the following;

In addition to Ropati Pitoitua, the #Titans have also shown some interest in #Bears free agent DL Israel Idonije

With salary cap room quickly running out for the Bears, they may be hard pressed to get into a bidding war with both the San Francisco 49ers and the Titans.

Izzy's experience at both end and tackle in Chicago makes him an attractive candidate to continue that role with another 4-3 team, or to play 5 technique DE with a 3-4 team like the Niners.
