Bears Waive LB Khaseem Greene Amid Series Of Roster Moves

(CBS) The Bears announced a series of minor roster moves Monday afternoon, headlined by waiving linebacker Khaseem Greene.

Chicago also terminated the contract of vested veteran linebacker Austen Lane and signed quarterback Pat Devlin, defensive tackle Terry Williams and linebacker Kyle Woestmann. Devlin signed a one-year deal, while the latter two will be on three-year contracts.

Greene's exit comes after he appeared in 25 games, with six starts, in the past two seasons, when he collected 60.5 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. The Bears selected Greene in the fourth round in 2013 draft, and many lauded his potential before his inconsistent play.

Devlin, Williams and Woestmann have latched on to the Bears after being tryout players at rookie mini-camp over the weekend.

Devlin spent the final eight weeks of the 2014 season on the Vikings' practice squad after being released by the Dolphins in August. Devlin finished his college career up at Delaware, where he threw for 5,696 yards in his final two seasons in 2009 and 2010.

Williams was a three-year starter at East Carolina, where he was first-team all-conference as a senior.

Woestmann appeared in 49 games, including 24 starts, over the past four seasons at Vanderbilt.

Chicago's roster now stands at 89 players.
