The Chicago Bears took care of some internal business just one week ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft, announcing they re-signed restricted free agent defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris to a one-year deal.
The Bears placed a second-round tender on Robertson-Harris prior to free agency, which he signed on Wednesday afternoon. The move keeps him in Chicago through the 2020 season and allows the defense to retain one of its important rotational players.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2016, Robertson-Harris worked to become an essential piece on the defensive line. He saw the field for the first time in 2017 and has become increasingly involved in the defensive game-plan each year. Last season, the former UTEP standout totaled 30 tackles, two and a half sacks and three pass deflections in 15 games.
Robertson-Harris will become an unrestricted free agent in the spring of 2021.
