Chicago Bears Sign WR Eric Peterman and TE Richard Angulo to One-Year Deals

This may be insignificant news, but the Bears brought back undrafted wide reciever Eric Peterman on a one year deal.
The Bears signed him out of Northwestern University after the 2009 draft and he was released before the season started. They also signed big 6′8″ tight end Richard Angulo, who has played 28 games for the St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings in his short career.
I think these are solid moves considering the Bears wide receivers are already young and Mike Martz likes to use a lot of them at a time. Peterman is a familiar face who is going to have to work hard to get a spot on the team, but anything is possible at this point.
Angulo has a better shot of making the team, because of his size and experience in the league. The former seventh round pick by the St. Louis Rams in 2003 has only caught 17 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown in his NFL career, but is a very excellent blocking tight end. The Bears offensive line is already a bit shaky, but with the addition of a good blocking tight end to pair with Dez Clark, it could be a perfect fit.
Will see what the Bears decide to do with Angulo, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes the team. Peterman, on the other hand, is a long-shot to make it in my opinion.
