The Bears have waived kicker Andre Szmyt, a Lake Forest native, and signed Skokie native Barrington Wade. Szmyt was previously signed as an undrafted rookie and had been practicing with the team in training camp. The Bears also waived injured tight end Jake Tonges.
The team previously signed Szmyt as an undrafted rookie following the NFL draft in April. He spent the spring with the Bears going through OTAs and had been practicing with the team in training camp.
Szmyt played high school ball at Vernon Hills, helping the Cougars reach the 2016 IHSA Class 5A state championship game. He went on to have a record-breaking career in college at Syracuse.
