The Chicago Bears have signed former Buffalo Bills cornerback Cam Lewis on a two-year deal, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler was the first to report.
“Former Bills defensive back Cam Lewis to the Chicago Bears on a two-year deal, per source.”
Fowler also added this regarding Lewis: “Lewis was a versatile piece for Bills over six seasons, playing corner, safety and nickel corner. Adds to Chicago’s secondary, which is losing multiple pieces.”
Lewis, 28, is a former undrafted free agent Buffalo signed back in 2020. He racked up 167 total tackles, three forced fumbles, and one interception since then.
Last season, he had 43 total tackles, four pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and one tackle for loss.

Bears Sign Former Bills Cornerback Cam Lewis
This move comes immediately after the Bears lost Nahshon Wright to the New York Jets.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Jets are signing Wright to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million. Wright was a Pro Bowler last season in Chicago and had a massive year with five interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 80 tackles.
Lewis is likely a depth signing for the Bears, and the fact that he can play multiple spots in the secondary is huge.
In 2025, he played 99 snaps at free safety, 145 at nickel, and 170 at box safety.
