The Chicago Bears' 2022 season may be over, but GM Ryan Poles is still doing his part to add pieces to the roster that could be intriguing options as the 2023 off-season approaches.
On Wednesday, the Bears waived defensive end Taco Charlton and claimed defensive back Michael Ojemudia just one day after the Denver Broncos cut him loose.
Charlton played in five games for the Bears and was a relative non-factor.
Michael Ojemudia could factor in 2023 offseason
The Broncos selected Ojemudia in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He started 11 games as a rookie. He spent most of the 2021 season on injured reserve and lost ground on Denver's depth chart after the Broncos signed Kyle Fuller and Ronald Darby in free agency and drafted Patrick Surtain Jr. in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.
Ojemudia (6-1, 200 pounds) ran a 4.45 40-yard dash at the 2020 NFL Combine and was graded as a late-round developmental prospect.
