Paulsen signed a contract with the Bears on Sunday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports
Paulsen missed the entire 2015 season while recovering from toe surgery, but re-signed with the Redskins earlier this offseason before being released on Saturday. However, he's now slated to join the Bears, where he should be able to carve out a role as a blocking tight end, as well as a candidate to play special teams.
