Brice, 25, wound up signing on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Louisiana Tech in 2016. He has managed to make the 53-man roster in each of his first three seasons in the NFL.
Brice finished his three-year, $1.62 million rookie contract with the Packers before they declined to tender him a restricted offer this past offseason. He later signed a one-year deal with the Buccaneers but was waived coming out of the preseason.
The Bears signed Brice to a futures contract this past January.
In 2018, Brice appeared in 14 games for the Packers and recorded 50 tackles, one sack, no interceptions, and two pass defenses.
Bond, 27, is a former sixth-round pick by the Buccaneers in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. He was entering the third year of his four-year, $2.48 million rookie contract when Tampa Bay waived him with an injury settlement in 2018.
However, the Buccaneers re-signed Bond in October after he was fully recovered from plantar fasciitis. He was in line to be a restricted free agent in 2019 before re-signing on a one-year deal with Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers released Bond in October and he later caught on with the Bears for the final three games of 2019. Chicago later re-signed him to a one-year contract this past February.
In 2019, Bond appeared in four games for the Buccaneers and three games for the Bears, finishing with three total tackles.
