Bears are letting go of LB DeMarquis Gates
Brad Biggs reported that the Bears have let go of LB DeMarquis Gates
After going undrafted in the 2018 NFL draft, Gates was signed by the Cleveland Browns on May 22, 2018. He was then waived again on June 14.
Gates joined the Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football On March 28, 2019, Gates was named AAF Defensive Player of the Week. The AAF abruptly folded on April 2 after eight games. Gates led the AAF in tackles with 52 and forced fumbles with five.
He then also spent some time in the USFL where he completely dominated the league.
Finally, On August 6, 2022, Gates signed with the Chicago Bears.
Gates had four tackles against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday in the Bears' first preseason game, including a tackle for loss.
He played very nicely and he was actually one of the highest-ranked LB in the NFL per PFF throughout the preseason. I think he is a prime candidate to end up on a practice squad this season.
