4. Roberson turned down nine other teams to sign with Bears

The Bears weren’t alone in wanting to sign Roberson from the CFL. Roberson apparently turned down nine other others when he chose the Bears, according to Adam Schefter. Although reasons could vary from team to monetary compensation.

The Patriots may have been one of those teams also in the market for his services, as Roberson recently had a workout with New England, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

The Patriots had Canadian Football League CB Tre Roberson (Calgary) in for a free-agent workout.

Roberson, who played quarterback in college at Illinois State, initially had signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2016. He's been with Calgary the last 2 seasons.
