Cody Whitehair, the Bears' longest-tenured position player, has a new home: Las Vegas.
The Raiders agreed to sign him to a one-year deal Monday worth $2.5 million, a source said. When Whitehair suits up for the Raiders — and new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy — he will be wearing colors other than navy and orange for the first time as a pro. The former second-round pick played from 2016-23 with the Bears.
The Bears cut Whitehair in February rather than pay a $13.25 million salary cap hit. Whitehair expected the move, given that he'd been benched during the season after struggling with the accuracy of his snaps.
