From the SBNation Giants site:

"Ryan Mundy -- The Giants signed Mundy for depth, and they wound up needing him desperately. The season-ending injury to Brown and the suspension of Hill meant Mundy started the first four games, and he started nine in all. He finished with 77 tackles, an interception and a sack. There is nothing special about Mundy, but good teams need players who can step in at any time and perform adequately. Mundy is that type of player"

And the Bears signed Mundy to start.

Hopefully the Bears signed him for depth as well, an experienced by inexpensive veteran in case the guy they draft isn't ready Day 1.

Do we know that? They absolutely needed safety depth.

How many teams would Chris Conte start on?

Mundy will be a starter. Beardown over and out.

My hope is that he is to be behind Wright with Conte gone. They 14th pick is a safety. We could also take the Pitt tackle but I feel we need safety more.

A good defensive tackle will make the safeties look better.

Houston has had more tackles in each of the last two years than Peppers had at any time in his career.

I do not have any problem with the Houston signing. If all the stats and pro focus stuff Bernsie ran down are right he is a solid DE. And for once we won't look as silly against the run as Shea looked.

The Chicago Bears secured one of the top pass rushers on the open market, reaching agreement on a five-year, $35 million contract with former Oakland Raiders defensive end Lamarr Houston, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

More from ESPN.com
The signing of Lamarr Houston is a good start for the Bears, but there are still several holes to fill, Michael C. Wright writes. Story

The Bears announced the Houston signing as well as re-signing middle linebacker D.J. Williams to a one-year deal, safety Ryan Mundy to a two-year deal and special teams standout Jordan Senn to a one-year contract.

A disruptive presence who moved to the right side last season in the Raiders' 4-3 base defense, Houston led Oakland with a career-high six sacks, though four came in the season's first seven games.

Houston, who turns 27 on June 24, also led Raiders' D-linemen with 71 tackles (55 solo) and forced two fumbles.

He's not the prototypical edge rusher the Raiders crave, though, and that might be why he said after the season finale that he thought Oakland might move on from him.

Both general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen, though, had said they wanted him back -- most likely to return to the left side after they pick up that edge rusher either in free agency or the draft.

I don't mind the Houston signing. Especially if it allowed them to sign the new starting safety. And Costanzo's replacement and DJ Williams.

It does appear to have worked out to be cap efficient.

Still need about 3-5 more starters on defense. Don't have to be big names,just get some seasoned nfl bodies in to camp. We don't want what they had last season. 2 rooks at LB getting their asses handed to them.

$12.9 million guaranteed in Houston deal which is $3 mil less than Bennet and $11 mil from Johnson.

It seems like a decent signing, but nobody is scared because their rival signs a guy like Houston.

I like Chris Conte. He had a bad year but I expect him to be better next season.

The local bears guys have a bet with KC on that. KC probably got a lot of mouths to feed based on his performance to date.

I blame James Anderson for that play and the Packers touchdown earlier in the game.

He didn't see Anderson change the call at the last second and it looked bad. He had an awful year. You could tell he had lost confidence.
