With veteran snapper Patrick Mannelly still recovering from hip surgery, the Bears added a CFL veteran to the roster.  Chad Rempel, who has snapped for four CFL clubs over a 10 year career, signed a contract with the Bears and will compete with Brandon Hartson.

Although many expect Mannelly to return to Chicago for a record 17th season, it appears that he is still weighing his options as he rehabilitates his injury.
