On day one of NFL free agency the Chicago Bears pulled no punches as they signed LB Tremaine Edmunds to a four-year $72 Million contract. With $50 Million guaranteed this is the largest four-year contract of any inside linebacker in the NFL. Though a large sum, Edmunds could be worth every penny, the 25-year-old is already a two-time pro-bowler with a bright future ahead of him in the Windy City.
This comes only hours after the Bears announced they would sign linebacker T.J. Edwards for a three-year deal worth $19.5 Million. Arguably an even better signing, Edwards at $6.5 million a year is a steal for the Bears.
Over the last week we’ve seen the Bears make some incredible moves. Trading the 1st overall pick for a haul from Carolina, signing these two linebackers (as well as OG Nate Davis from Tennessee), the Bears are positioned increasingly well to be a real contender for the NFC title in the 2023 season.
