The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with former Indianapolis Colts defensive Al-Quadin Muhammad on a two-year deal worth $10 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
A sixth-round pick by the Saints in 2017, Muhammad is coming off a breakout season with Indianapolis, where he set career highs in tackles (48), sacks (6) and QB hits (13). He started every game for the Colts last season.
Muhammad reunites with former Colts defensive coordinator and current Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, who’s quite familiar with Muhammad’s skillset and potential. Muhammad played under Eberflus for the last four years.

Muhammad joins a Bears pass rush that includes Robert Quinn and Trevis Gipson after Khalil Mack was dealt to the Los Angeles Chargers for a 2022 second-round pick and 2023 sixth-round selection.
This is the second move on the defensive line made by general manager Ryan Poles. Muhammad joins defensive tackle Justin Jones, who is the replacement for Larry Ogunjobi, who won’t be signed after failing his physical.
