The Bears on Friday signed veteran guard/center Dylan Gandy to a one-year contract.
Gandy, 32, has appeared in 120 games with 19 starts over nine NFL seasons with the Colts (2005-07), Broncos (2008), Raiders (2008) and Lions (2009-13). The 6-3, 295-pounder was selected in the fourth round of the 2005 draft by Indianapolis out of Texas Tech.
To make room on their roster for Gandy, the Bears waived defensive end Jamil Merrell, an undrafted rookie free agent from Rutgers.
