Following five seasons with the Raiders, Nicholas Morrow is heading to Chicago. The Bears are signing the linebacker, reports ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (via Twitter).
Fowler transformed from an undrafted free agent into a serviceable linebacker during his time with the Raiders organization. Morrow ultimately spent five years with the organization, seeing time in 62 games (29 starts).
Morrow re-signed with the Raiders last offseason, but he landed on injured reserve before the regular season with a foot injury. There were some whispers that he could be activated in time for the playoffs, but the linebacker ended up sitting out the entire 2021 campaign.
That means 2020 was the last time Morrow saw the field, but he was plenty productive during that campaign. He saw time in 14 games (11 starts) that season, collecting 78 tackles, three sacks, and nine passes defended.

Well, that didn’t take long. The guy’s had the job for what, three weeks? And already this Bears fan wants him axed?
Years of Pace making seemingly big name signings and handing out awful contracts has created a legion of idiots expecting the same with different results.

Ok, they need LB help. I’m gonna trust you for now, Mr. Poles. But I sure hope there are O linemen and wide receivers on your radar.
He will be bargain shopping this off season to preserve next off seasons cap space of around 100 mil as this season will be about getting Fields ready as last year was a waste
Okay, nice depth/supporting role signing. Keep them coming. I want a few more OL signings and WR signings, but bargain shop for WRs. Don’t pay a decent slot WR like a #1 and don’t bring back ARob. It’s clear that he and Fields didn’t have chemistry.
