Bears free agent tracker: Who’s coming and going?

Tracking the Bears-related free agent moves as the NFL's legal tampering window opened Monday:

March 17

5:41 p.m.: Multiple reports — from ESPN and NFL Network — indicate that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is likely to sign with the Buccaneers. He announced early Tuesday that he would not return to the Patriots, the only team he's ever known.

5:40 p.m.: Teddy Bridgewater will get $63 million over three years from the Panthers, per ESPN.

3 p.m.: Future Hall of Fame quarterback Philip Rivers is no longer available. He agreed to a one-year, $25 million deal with the Colts.

2:10 p.m.: Inside linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis, who played well in three games as a starter when other Bears were hurt, is signing a one-year, $3.45 million deal with Washington, per NFL Network. The Bears kept Danny Trevathan, who will start alongside Roquan Smith next year. Pierre-Louis who played one year in Chicago.

11:35 a.m.: With Cam Newton free to seek a trade, the Panthers are signing Teddy Bridgewater, per reports. He has familiarity with new Panthers coordinator Joe Brady, who worked with the Saints before joining LSU. Bridgewater is another quarterback to cross off the list of potential Bears fits.

11:30 a.m.: Robert Quinn's addition means the end of Leonard Floyd's time with the Bears. The Bears would have owed Floyd $13.2 million were he still on the roster at the start of the league year Wednesday afternoon.

11 a.m.: The Bears finally made a big move: they agreed to a five-year, $70 million deal with Cowboys pass rusher Robert Quinn, ESPN reported. That also signals the release of underperforming outside linebacker Leonard Floyd.

10:15 a.m.: Bears backup quarterback Chase Daniel is gone. He agreed to a three-year, $13.1 million contract with the Lions, per ESPN.

10 a.m.: Panthers star and former NFL MVP Cam Newton is available for trade, the team announced. He and his agents have permission to seek a deal, which makes him an option for the Bears.

8 a.m.: The Patriots' Tom Brady posted on Instagram that he is leaving the team, adding a quarterback — perhaps the greatest of all time — to the market and another team in need of a starting passer.

March 16

11 p.m.: Nick Williams, the defensive lineman who finished second on the Bears with six sacks last season, signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Lions, per sources. It's a tremendous turn for Williams, who'd played on minimum contracts for seven seasons. The Bears' three starters are returning the defensive line, and so is Roy Robertson-Harris.

8:50 p.m.: Former Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, who some thought to be a good fit with the Bears, is signing with the Raiders. He figures to back up Derek Carr.

6:45 p.m.: The Bears are signing former Packers tight end Jimmy Graham. ESPN reported the deal is worth $16 million deal with $9 million guaranteed over two years.

Graham Tweeted an appropriate video.

4:30 p.m.: Cross a quarterback off the Bears' list: Case Keenum is signing to be the Browns' backup, per ESPN.

12:55 p.m.: Shortly after the start of the NFL's legal tampering period, former Bears inside linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Raiders that includes $13.5 million guaranteed.

It's almost identical to the contract the Bears gave inside linebacker Danny Trevathan when they chose him over Kwiatkoski last week. Trevathan's three-year deal is worth $21.5 million, with $13.65 million guaranteed.

Noon: Within the first hour of the legal tampering period, it appeared the Bears got priced out on a player they coveted. Multiple reports had two-time Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper headed to the Browns. The Bears had been eying Hooper for months to pair him with Trey Burton, but were on a limited budget because of their salary-cap situation.

March 13

The Bears gave defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris a second-round tender, meaning that teams would have to give up a second-rounder to sign him away. Because that won't happen, Robertson-Harris is expected to return next season on a deal worth around $3.3 million.

March 12

Inside linebacker Danny Trevathan, one of the Bears' most influential leaders, agreed to a three-year contract before the start of free agency. Speaking the next day, Trevathan said his "whole goal is to bring a Super Bowl back here."

Feb. 21

The Bears cut cornerback Prince Amukamara and receiver Taylor Gabriel to create $13.5 million in salary cap space.

Feb. 20

The Bears signed former Browns tight end Demetrius Harris, who played for Matt Nagy in Kansas City, to a one-year deal.

Jan. 3

Just days after the end of the season, the Bears gaves safety Eddie Jackson a four-year, $58.4 million extension. The $14.6 million average is the most ever for a safety.
