The Chicago Bears have re-signed long snapper Patrick Scales to a one-year contract, ensuring the team's longest-tenured player remains with them for another season. The deal is reported to include over $1 million guaranteed. Scales, who has played in 120 games for the Bears, is notable not only for his longevity but also for being potentially the only pre-2020 player still on the roster. His experience significantly outpaces the next most experienced player on the team, Cole Kmet, who has played in 67 games.
Not only is he the longest-tenured Bear, I'm pretty sure Scales is the only pre-2020 player left on their roster. https://t.co/v2X20nNnpO
