The Bears are re-signing DL Mario Edwards to 3-year deal

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Bears are re-signing defensive end Mario Edwards to a multi-year deal.
Edwards signed with the Bears last summer after he was cut from the Saints when rosters were trimmed. He appeared in 15 games last season, totaling 17 tackles, four sacks, and one pass deflection.
In December, the veteran was charged with assault on a female in North Carolina while the Bears were preparing to take on the Panthers during an October weekend. .
A month later, the NFL suspended Edwards for the first two games of the 2021 season for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy

Bears place franchise tag on Allen Robinson

The Chicago Bears have placed the franchise tag on wide receiver Allen Robinson, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
The Bears and Robinson have been at odds over a new contract since the start of the 2020 regular season, and with no new deal on the horizon, the franchise tag was the only option left for Pace to keep A-Rob in town.
Robinson led the Bears in receiving last season with 102 catches, 1,250 yards, and six touchdowns.
He’s established himself as Chicago’s most important offensive player over the last three seasons despite playing with a lowly hodgepodge of quarterbacks.
Now, the Bears have more time to either sign A-Rob to a long-term deal or trade him for draft picks in advance of April’s 2021 NFL draft

Does Eddie Jackson have Deshaun Watson to the Bears on his mind?

The entire football world remains enamored with the Texans and the drama with franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson, who requested to be traded from what’s sounded like a toxic franchise.
The Bears have been one of many teams that have expressed interest in trading for Watson, but the Texans have shut everyone down as they remain intent on keeping him.
For Bears fans, it seems like every week there’s a new quarterback rumor to obsess over. Now, we’re back on the Watson-to-the-Bears hype train following a cryptic tweet from safety Eddie Jackson.
Naturally, Jackson’s cryptic tweet had Bears fans freaking out once again over the possibility of Watson coming to Chicago.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a player post a cryptic tweet alluding to something that hasn’t come to fruition. But, at this point, it’s still fun to hope that the Bears are still in the Watson sweepstakes

What is the Bears’ biggest positional need in free agency?

Bleacher Report examined every team’s biggest need heading into free agency next month.
It’s no surprise that they have quarterback listed for the Bears.
While Mitchell Trubisky played his best ball at the end of last season, it’s not likely he’ll return to Chicago.
The Bears reportedly reached out about Deshaun Watson, Matthew Stafford (before he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams) and Carson Wentz.
The Bears could also look to move up in the draft as they are unlikely to find their QB at the No. 20 overall pick

Did the Bears leave a clue about their plans for Allen Robinson?

Bears fans are knee-deep in quarterback conversation, and rightfully so with the speculation that GM Ryan Pace is about to pull the trigger on a blockbuster trade for Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
Beneath the quarterback talk lies another, and equally important, roster decision the team must make this offseason. Wide receiver Allen Robinson is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.
Then came the Bears’ tweet on Monday promoting the 2021 offseason. Robinson is part of the promotion, which suggests he’s in their plans, right?.
If the Bears didn’t think Robinson would (or could) be re-signed, there’s no way they’d include him in a video with Khalil Mack, David Montgomery, Cole Kmet, Eddie Jackson, Roquan Smith, and Darnell Mooney.
Including Robinson with the rest of the Bears’ core players suggests he’ll be around for a while, or at the very least, for another year on the franchise player tag
