2024 Projections
Lane's vested contract was terminated by the Bears on Monday, ESPN.com's Jeff Dickerson of ESPN Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Bears transitioning from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defensive scheme this season under new coordinator Vic Fangio, Lane, a holdover of the previous regime, was deemed a poor fit. The 27-year-old was only on the roster for the Bears' Week 17 game against the Vikings in 2014, but wasn't active for the contest.

Signed by the Bears this offseason at the recommendation of defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, a previous coach of his in Jacksonville, Lane will compete for a depth role along the defensive line. Though he totaled three sacks and 64 tackles over parts of four seasons in the NFL, Lane's minimal impact in the preseason ultimately contributed to his release by the Bears at the end of training camp.
