The Chicago Bears have found plenty of success on the defensive line over the last few years, which has to do with their big-name starters and key rotational pieces. One of those key reserves is Mario Edwards Jr., who joined the team just before the start of the regular season.
Edwards had a solid year with Chicago, but his future with the franchise could be in doubt, which could have more to do with his actions off the field — and he’s also suspended for the first two games in 2021.
Looking ahead to free agency, we’re breaking down every Bears free agent’s 2020 season, including the team’s need at the position and predicting whether they stay or go in free agency.
After looking at wide receiver Allen Robinson, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris, kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson, kicker Cairo Santos, safety Tashaun Gipson, defensive end Brent Urban, offensive lineman Germain Ifedi, and safety Deon Bush, we’re continuing with Edwards, another key rotational player on the defensive line.
