The Chicago Bears have lost their first player to the free agent market as defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris has agreed to a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Robertson-Harris is expected to sign a three-year deal worth $24.4 million with $14 million guaranteed. While Chicago is losing a key rotational player along the defensive line, it was a move that many expected to happen.
Bears Twitter had nothing but good things to say about Robertson-Harris getting a well-deserved pay day. There wasn’t any surprise that Chicago let him walk given that massive deal he landed with the Jaguars. Just praise and well wished as Robertson-Harris heads to Jacksonville.
Yesssir Roy 🔥🔥🔥 proud of you bro! Stayed down, came up! Best of luck @BigXander95 💰

Good for Roy Robertson-Harris man. He was my favorite UDFA when he came in and I’ve been rooting for him.
Would’ve loved to have him back, but good for him getting his bag. https://t.co/qZmfKvgAfz

Really happy for Bears/Jaguars Roy Robertson-Harris. Former UDRFA gets $24M, $14M guaranteed for just 3 years, crack at 1 more nice deal after.
Should be financially set for life. Good football player, fine young man. Good for you RRH!— Hub Arkush (@Hub_Arkush) March 15, 2021

Good for RRH. Undrafted in 2016, basically redshirted and then carved himself a nice role as a rotational guy. https://t.co/oswS8Of4Ay
