Edwards comes to Chicago with the expectation that he’ll serve as the MIKE linebacker in Matt Eberflus’ defense. Edwards is also reunited with former Wisconsin teammate Jack Sanborn, who was a rookie standout for the Bears last season.

Sanborn and Edwards have a lot in common. Both played at Wisconsin (including for one year together in 2018). Both were undrafted free agents. Both are homegrown products who grew up Bears fans. Now, they’ll anchor Chicago’s linebacker corps.

I’m liking the signings so far. Just one really big contract to Edmunds. None of them grossly overpaid. Wonder if they plan to move Whitehair to C and let Davis play LG? Would love to see a RT and more DL.

Do the Bears now have 3 middle linebackers?  I guess we know what the team really thinks of Sanborn.  It looks like he's the SLB that gets taken out on nickel formations.

The Walker signing reminds me of the Muhammad signing last year.  Both had mediocre careers then one decent year before signing with the Bears (Walker 7 sacks last year and Muhammad had 6.5).  I guess beggars can't be choosers - he's the best DE on the roster.

We'll see who gets signed next - but the draft looks like d-line city.

Exact same thing I thought. Before the injury seemed as if he (Sanborn) was playing pretty well.

See how easy it was to make this forum.

 Correct me if I'm wrong which seems likely but didn't we trade from #20 to #11 to get Fields and in the process give up 2 number ones ?

 That being said we are at #9 ... could we trade out and pick up yet another first rounder?

 Could get interesting.

 If we keep playing our cards right with the cap space ... we may not need a draft.

 REMEMBER : There's about a half dozen punters we need to sign to continue the Halas Hall tradition of NOW what da fuuck ?

 Or could that be ending ....................... ?

Stop your whining like a 2 year old when he doesnt get his favorite pablum.

I certainly wont give the Bears 4 gold stars for this Day 1 exhibition. The DLine was the big need and we didnt get any help there. And I dont think at #9 we are going to get a savior on the line there.

It does look like we got a Whitehair replacement at OG.

McGary is still out there right?   Had a better season than McGlinchey but McGlinchey has had the better career.

I didn't want to lose Montgomery, but I knew it was a possibility.  I hate that he went to someone in our division.
