Bears Match Bills Offer to Idonije

[The_Philster]

The Chicago Bears have matched the four-year offer sheet that defensive lineman Israel Idonije signed last Saturday with the Buffalo Bills. Idonije, 25, finished last season with 16 tackles, four assists, a sack and a fumble recovery for the Bears.
"We want Israel back," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo told ChicagoBears.com. "We feel that he's a young quality player who's still developing." more (http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=3677)
