Tight end Dante Rosario, who became an unrestricted free agent March 10, re-signed with the Bears on Thursday, agreeing to a one-year deal.

The 6-foot-3, 242-pound Rosario originally joined the Bears on Sept. 2, 2013, when he was acquired in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round draft pick. As a Bear, Rosario has played in 31 games and started six when the offense opened with two tight ends, catching 17 passes for 129 yards and contributed on special teams, where he had 5 tackles in 2013 and 2 last season.

Rosario previously played for new Bears head coach John Fox when he held the same job with the Denver Broncos (2011) and the Carolina Panthers (2007-10). In eight NFL seasons, Rosario has 32 starts and has played in 122 games. He has 116 career receptions for 1,235 yards (10.6-yard average) and 8 touchdowns.
