The Chicago Bears have elected to release former first round pick Leonard Floyd. Floyd, who played his college football at Georgia, recorded 18.5 sacks in four seasons with the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately for Floyd, he’s seen his sack total decline each season since his rookie season, where he got seven sacks.
The Bears are signing pass rusher Robert Quinn to a five year, $70 million dollar deal and are releasing Leonard Floyd:
The #Bears are signing pass-rusher Robert Quinn to a 5-year, $70 million contract with $30 million fully guaranteed, agent Sean Kiernan from @SelectSports tells me and @TomPelissero. A new home for the former #Cowboys star after a huge year.

The former Georgia Bulldog will have many suitors. He’s now an NFL Free Agent. The Bears elected to exercise Floyd’s fifth year option, but Chicago no longer has to fully guarantee the option.
