Omameh started all 16 games at right guard for Tampa Bay last season. The 6-4, 306-pounder entered the NFL in 2013 with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan. Omameh spent parts of his rookie season in 2013 on the practice squad with the 49ers and Buccaneers.

Jones-Quartey signed with the Cardinals this year as an undrafted free agent from Findlay, a Division II college in Ohio. The 5-11, 215-pounder appeared in 43 games in four seasons, recording 241 tackles, nine tackles-for-loss, four interceptions, 21 passes defenses and three forced fumbles.

To make room on their roster, the Bears waived tackle Jordan Mills and terminated safety Sherrod Martin's contract. Mills started all 29 games he played at right tackle the past two seasons after being selected by the Bears in the fifth round of the 2013 draft out of Louisiana Tech.

Martin signed with the Bears in June after spending his first five NFL seasons with the Panthers (2009-12) and Jaguars (2015), playing his first two years in Carolina under coach John Fox.

The only player the Bears waived Saturday who was claimed by another team Sunday was outside linebacker David Bass, who went to the Titans.
