While the market for free-agent FS Oshiomogho Atogwe continues to simmer, we’re still finding out more about the interest (and non-interest) of potential suitors.
One team now out of the Atogwe market is the Bears. GM Jerry Angelo said during his bi-weekly Q&A Wednesday that the Bears have evaluated Atogwe, but are set at safety after adding Chris Harris and third-round pick Major Wright to a group that already included Danieal Manning, Craig Steltz and Josh Bullocks.
Teams we’ve previously listed as pulling out of the running for Atogwe include the Cowboys, Vikings, 49ers and Eagles.
NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reported Wednesday the Seahawks are showing interest in Atogwe. Otherwise, there hasn’t been a lot of public chatter in the last two weeks. The Dolphins, Lions and Atogwe’s former team, the Rams, appear to still be in the mix.
