LAKE FOREST, Ill. - The New England Patriots have acquired linebacker Jonathan Bostic from the Chicago Bears for an undisclosed draft pick.

A second-round draft pick in 2013, Bostic fell out of favour under new coach John Fox.

Bostic started in 17 of 29 games he played, collecting 203 1/2 tackles.

The Bears announced the deal on Tuesday.
