NFC Notes: Bears, Lions, Packers

Bears

  • Bears WR Dante Pettisโ€˜ one-year deal includes a $1.08 million salary and a $152,500 signing bonus, via Aaron Wilson. 
  • According to Brad Biggs, the Bears hosted South Dakota State TE Tucker Kraft for a pre-draft visit. 

Lions

  • NFL Mediaโ€™s Ian Rapoport reports the Lions hosted TCU RB Kendre Miller for an official top-30 visit on Wednesday. 
  • According to Aaron Wilson, Florida A&M LB Isaiah Land had a pre-draft meeting with the Lions.
  • Lions GM Brad Holmes said he felt โ€œbetterโ€ about Georgia DT Jalen Carter following his visit to the team facility, per Kyle Meinke.
  • Holmes said they would like to add a third quarterback behind Jared Goff and Nate Sudfeld: โ€œWe got two QBs on the roster right now and weโ€™ll definitely have a third at some point,โ€ via Colton Pouncey. 
  • Holmes said heโ€™s supportive of running backs being considered first-round talent: โ€œI kind of just look at it as theyโ€™re all football players. โ€ฆI donโ€™t think anyone said in 2016 or โ€™17 or โ€™18, โ€˜Man, they picked Todd Gurley at 10.โ€™ No, he was just a really good running back. He was one of the top prospects in the draft. So, yeah. We didnโ€™t really bat an eye.โ€ (Pouncey)

Packers

  • If history is any precedent, the Athleticโ€™s Matt Schneidman believes the Packers will give QB Jordan Love two years to prove himself as the starter. Heโ€™s not sure if that means picking up Loveโ€™s fifth-year option or not. 
  • Schneidman wrote heโ€™ll eat his shorts if the Packers take a tight end in the first round at No. 15 overall, and added heโ€™ll eat both his shorts and shirt if they draft Texas RB Bijan Robinson.
  • Tom Silverstein reports the Packers hosted Minnesota QB Tanner Morgan for a top-30 visit.
