CHICAGO - The Chicago Bears have added another leg to their roster. The team announced Friday they have signed kicker Austin Signor, who was in minicamp on a tryout basis, to a three-year deal.

Signor, an undrafted free-agent rookie, played at Iowa (2006-07) and Eastern Illinois (2008-09). He earned first team All-OVC honors as a senior in 2009, leading Eastern Illinois with 76 points, connecting on 14-of-22 field goal attempts and all 34 extra points.

Signor has spent brief time in the offseason with NFL teams before. He has been in minicamp with the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders and has had tryouts with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets.

Veteran kicker Robbie Gould is in the final year of a six-year contract with a $2.925 million cap hit. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2014.

Gould didn't participate in the Bears' voluntary minicamp this week because of a calf injury suffered last season during pre-game warmups in Minnesota on Dec. 9. The Bears signed veteran Olindo Mare to take Gould's place after he was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 12.
