The Chicago Bears re-signed a valuable reserve at safety in DeAndre Houston-Carson, who signed a one-year deal to remain with the team for another season.
With the return of Houston-Carson, Chicago gets back a key reserve at safety and one of the team’s most reliable special teamers. Last season with Chicago, Houston-Carson totaled 15 tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery and three pass breakups.
Houston-Carson joins Deon Bush as the second safety to be re-signed this offseason.
Now, we have details of Houston-Carson’s contract extension with the Bears.
Houston-Carson singed a one-year deal worth $1.127 million, including a $137,500 signing bonus and $987,500 guaranteed. In 2021, Houston-Carson will earn a base salary of $990,000 and have a cap hit of $987,500.
The Bears still have a vacancy opposite safety Eddie Jackson as Tashaun Gipson remains unsigned. We’ll see how Chicago intends to address that hole, be it in the draft or through the next wave of free agency.
