    A day after signing former first-rounders Roy Williams and Vernon Gholston, multiple sources told the Tribune the Bears have agreed to terms with defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, the 10th overall pick in the 2007 draft. Okoye will get a one-year contract. Okoye was released by the Houston Texans. One has to wonder if the pending addition of Okoye could be a bad sign for defensive tackle Marcus Harrison, who reported to camp 11 pounds overweight and was held out of Saturday's first practice. Although the Bears are counting on the play of Henry Melton, Matt Toeaina, rookie Stephen Paea, and Adams inside, Okoye is another low-cost, low-risk option.

    Bears, being happy enough of their own busts, seem to be in the generous mood of taking on everyone else's duds.
