The Bears have tendered exclusive rights to free agents Nick Roach and Marcus Hamilton.
Nick Roach started nine games as the Sam backer. He ended the season as the starter after his play exceeded that of incumbent starter Hunter Hillenmeyer. Roach was claimed off of waivers in 2007 from the San Diego Chargers.
Marcus Hamilton was a mid season pickup off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccanners. He was picked up after a string of injuries to the Bears secondary. He saw most of his time on the field as a member of special teams.
