A four-time Pro Bowl pick,Aaron Ness Jersey, Ratliff started four of the five games he played in after signing with Chicago in November. He spent the first six weeks with Dallas on the physically unable to perform list before being released in mid-October, with the Cowboys saying he failed a physical. Ratliff missed the final six games in 2012 with a groin injury that required surgery.
The Bears, who had one of their worst defensive seasons ever, saw enough good things to bring him back.
