Bears Releasing DE Jamree Kromah

The Bears announced they also signed DB Josh Butler to the practice squad.

Kromah, 26, started his career at Rutgers before transferring to James Madison. He signed with the Bears as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft. 

Chicago cut him coming out of the preseason and signed him to the practice squad. However, he was signed away by the Patriots to their active roster. After being cut again, he returned to the Bears’ practice squad and signed a futures contract for the 2025 season. 

He spent the 2025 season on the practice squad and re-signed to a futures deal after the season.

In 2026, Kromah has appeared in two games for the Bears and recorded two total tackles including a tackle for loss.
