CONFIRMED: Chicago Bears Sign Veteran Defensive Back Tre Flowers And Defensive Lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon In Blockbuster For Defense

In a bold and calculated move to bolster their defense, the Chicago Bears have officially signed veteran defensive back Tre Flowers and defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon. The blockbuster double signing signals the Bears’ clear intent to revamp their defensive unit and add much-needed experience and versatility heading into the 2025 NFL season.

Tre Flowers, a proven cornerback and special teams contributor, brings with him years of experience and physicality. Standing at 6-foot-3, Flowers’ length and awareness make him a valuable asset in both man and zone coverage. He’s expected to compete immediately for a starting role in Chicago’s secondary, which struggled with injuries and inconsistency in 2024.

Meanwhile, Tanoh Kpassagnon arrives after productive stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints. Known for his hybrid ability to play on the edge or inside, Kpassagnon gives the Bears a flexible defensive lineman with playoff pedigree and disruptive power. His 6-foot-7 frame and wingspan make him a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks, especially in passing situations.

Bears GM Ryan Poles called the signings “critical steps” in building a fast, physical, and dominant defense. “We needed leadership, length, and players who’ve been in big games. Tre and Tanoh check all the boxes,” Poles said in a team statement.

While contract details have yet to be released, the message is clear: Chicago is going all-in on defense in 2025. With these veteran additions, expectations are rising once again in the Windy City, and Bears fans have every reason to believe this defense could be among the league’s best.
