Charles Tillman will test free agency after 11 seasons with the Chicago Bears.

Tillman may still return to the Bears, but it is unlikely he will earn as much as the $7.95 million he made in 2013.

Tillman could join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be reunited with Lovie Smith.

Tillman will turn 33 next month, which is considerably old for a cornerback. Tillman could potentially move to safety.

The Bears informed defensive line coach Mike Phair and linebackers coach Tim Tibesar that they would not be returning for the 2014 season.  Phair originally joined the team in 2011 as an assistant defensive line coach and Tibesar began in January of 2013.

The remainder of the coaching staff will remain in place for 2014.

“We thank Mike and Tim for their effort and dedication,” Head Coach Marc Trestman said. “They are men of high character and integrity. These are not easy decisions and we do not attribute our lack of success on defense to two individuals.  We need to improve in all areas defensively and that will be a focal point for us this offseason.  The process starts with me as the head coach.  Our search for a defensive line and linebackers coach has begun and we will be looking for the best candidates whose experience can bring the most out of our veteran and young players in both areas.

“Our team evaluation remains ongoing.  We believe Mel is the right person to lead our defensive unit.  He fully understands where we need to improve, has the skill set and leadership to oversee the changes that need to be made and to execute our plan to get the results we know are necessary.”

The AP released its 2013 All-Pro team on Friday, which is determined by 50 AP voters.

The Chicago Bears have signed CB Tim Jennings to a four-year contract.

Jennings has led the Bears in interceptions in each of the past two seasons and his 13 total interceptions during that time are second most in the NFL. His three interception return touchdowns over the last two seasons are tied for second most in the league.

Since joining the Bears in 2010, Jennings has a team-high 16 interceptions, tied for fourth most in the NFL. He has started 58-of-62 games played with Chicago, adding 247 tackles, 4.5 tackles for losses, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 51 pass break ups (tied for 12th in the NFL according to STATS). The University of Georgia product earned a Pro Bowl nod after the 2012 season when he led the NFL with nine interceptions.

The Chicago Bears have agreed to re-sign Jay Cutler to a seven-year deal that runs through 2020.

Cutler was scheduled to become a free agent.

Alex Marvez of Fox Sports reports that Cutler's deal averages $18 million annually for the first three seasons.
