Bears Work Out Veteran Corner Sam Webb

The visit signals Chicago is weighing experienced fringe corners as low‑risk options to bolster special‑teams and depth behind its projected starters.

Overview

  • The Chicago Bears hosted cornerback Sam Webb for a tryout on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson and reporting from multiple outlets.
  • Webb entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and has spent most of the last four seasons on practice squads with stops in Las Vegas, Carolina, Tennessee and Cleveland.
  • In 2025 with the Browns Webb appeared in seven games and recorded modest production, including eight tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass deflection.
  • Chicago brought in former Chiefs corner Nazeeh Johnson a day before Webb and has not announced any signings, as the front office balances veteran auditions with the integration of younger players such as Dillon Thieneman and Malik Muhammad.
  • General manager Ryan Poles is using a series of short workouts to compare low‑cost, special‑teams capable corners before committing roster spots, a common offseason method to add depth without guaranteed money.
