The Chicago Bears signed three players, including quarterback Pat Devlin, who participated in this past weekend’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

The team signed Devlin to a one-year contract, and defensive tackle Terry Williams and linebacker Kyle Woestmann to three-year contracts.

In addition, the Bears waived linebacker Khaseem Greene and terminated the contract of vested veteran linebacker Austen Lane.

Devlin spent four years with the Miami Dolphins (2011-13) and Minnesota Vikings (2014). He spent a majority of his 2011 rookie season on the Dolphins’ practice squad and was on Miami’s 53-man roster for all of 2012 and 2013 but was inactive for each game. He also spent the final eight weeks of the 2014 season on the Vikings’ practice squad after being released by Miami in August. Devlin spent his final two collegiate seasons at Delaware (2009-10), passing for 5,696 yards, 37 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Williams was a three-year starter at nose tackle for East Carolina. He played in 37 career games at ECU with 19 starts, producing 126 tackles, 17 tackles for losses, three sacks, forced five fumbles and five pass break-ups.

Woestmann appeared in 49 games with 24 starts in four seasons at Vanderbilt (2011-14), putting together 100 tackles, 13 sacks, 20.5 tackles for losses, five forced fumbles and three pass break-ups.

Williams was rated as the No. 44 defensive tackle this year by NFLDraftScout.com, while Woestmann was the No. 51 outside linebacker.

Greene appeared in 25 games with six starts over two seasons (2013-14) for Chicago, collecting 60.5 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble to go along with seven special teams stops.

Lane has seen action in 30 games with 17 starts over his NFL career with Jacksonville (2010-12), Detroit (2013) and Chicago (2014), recording 64 tackles, three sacks and one fumble recovery.

The Bears’ roster now stands at 89 players.
