Bears, Idonije agree on 2-year extension
Quote:
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun Times reports the Bears are planning to move Israel Idonije outside to defensive end but just last week during an OTA there he was lined up as a starter at tackle.
No, the move has not been called off. Rather, Idonije remains valuable because of his versatility and that was one of the main factors that had to play into the club's decision to give him a two-year extension Friday worth $7 million. Although the plan is to play him at end this season, he will no doubt be called upon to take his turn inside and that was the case last week with Tommie Harris and Marcus Harrison sidelined.
Idonije, whose position switch we detailed here 2 1/2 months ago, will get $3 million guaranteed in the new contract that keeps him in place through 2011. The Bears knew prior to the scouting combine that Idonije was hoping to get a new contract.
