Bears signed ILB T.J. Edwards to a three-year contract.

Edwards becomes one of the first players off the board in the 2023 free-agency cycle, as the former Eagle is now heading to Chicago. Edwards has emerged as one of the premiere inside linebackers in the league over the last two seasons, totaling 289 tackles, 15 TFLs, and three sacks since 2021. Edwards should immediately fill the inside linebacker spot previously occupied by Roquan Smith after the Bears traded Smith to the Ravens last season.

We get him for 3 years for about what Roquan got for 1yr. I’ll take that!

4.5 at signing, and 8 first year…by my math, that’s 3.5 for years 2 and 3…

That’s a steal.

So basically it is 2 for $16M and we’ll likely extend him in yr 3 if all goes well.

Bears are giving former Bills’ LB Tremaine Edmunds a 4-yr, $72M that includes $50M guaranteed, per source. It is the largest 4-year contract for an inside linebacker in the NFL.

So Edmonds and Edwards combined $24m a year compared to Roquan $20 m and they have the second round pick.

Love the linebacker signings but we need an RT and some DL.

I think the Bears just want to confuse announcers. The play was made my Edmunds... no wait Edwards. There also seems to be an affinity toward contracted first names this offseason (DJ Moore, TJ Edwards). Kind of harkens back to when the Bears had multiple Whites, Browns and a Green on the same team.....

Bears have signed DE Demarcus Walker.  7 sacks last year with the Titans.

Not a game buster but better than anything they had.

 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 ....................... ?
