The Chicago Bears are adding some depth to their defensive line by signing 27-year-old defensive tackle, James Lynch. Lynch stands 6'4 and weighs 295 pounds. He came out of Baylor University and was a 4th round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings back in 2020. He spent time with the Vikings until 2024, but sat out the entire 2023 season with a knee injury. The team waved him just before that year started, and the Tennessee Titans quickly picked him up for their practice squad. From there, Lynch got elevated for the Titans, weak one game right here in Chicago, then made their active roster. He played in all 17 games that season, and all 17 the next year too. For his five-year career, he has four starts in 71 games with 98 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 3 and a half sacks, and a few other key plays.
