What the Bears are getting in new DL Rasheem Green

We spoke to Mark Lane of Texans Wire to give us a rundown on what we can expect from new Bears DL Rasheem Green.

The Chicago Bears have signed former Houston Texans defensive lineman Rasheem Green to a one-year deal.

Green is a former third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, who played four years with Seattle before joining the Houston Texans in 2022. He’s already played five years in the league and is only 25 years old, so there’s plenty of upside with this move by general manager Ryan Poles.

Green is a versatile defensive lineman with the ability to play outside and inside, and he should be a solid rotational piece in Matt Eberflus’ defense.

Bears signing DL Rasheem Green to 1-year deal

The Bears are signing former Texans DL Rasheem Green to a one-year deal, per Adam Schefter.

The Chicago Bears are signing former Houston Texans defensive lineman Rasheem Green to a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Green was a third-round pick in 2018 by the Seattle Seahawks where he enjoyed a successful run. His best year with the Seahawks came in 2021 where he tallied 48 total tackles (six for a loss) and 6.5 sacks as an outside linebacker. Last season, he recorded 42 total tackles (five for a loss) and 3.5 sacks in 16 games. In five seasons, Green has 17 career sacks and free forced fumbles.

The 25-year old defensive lineman joins the Bears as another rotational player. He joins former Tennessee Titans pass rusher DeMarcus Walker as the second defensive end to sign with the Bears this offseason.

PFF predicts the Browns to land three of their top-100 free agents

The Browns are predicted to land three of PFF’s top-100 free agents

The Cleveland Browns are set to make massive upgrades to their defensive line when NFL free agency begins. And on the day that the legal tampering period beings, the Browns officially cleared $36 million in cap space (now giving them $22 million to work with) to work with. With free agency here, PFF has predicted their landing spots for their top 100 free agents as well, and the Browns are projected to land three of them.

Here are the three players the Browns have been projected to land as they look to upgrade their roster and get themselves back into the playoffs in 2023.

1 pending free agent the Eagles should target from each AFC team

With the legal tampering period and NFL league year fast approaching, we’re looking at 1 pending free agent the Eagles should target from each AFC team

The Eagles won’t be major players in the free-agent market, but it’s always fun to take a hypothetical look at one player from every team.

Philadelphia agreed to a deal with Brandon Graham on Friday but is expected to lose Javon Hargrave, Fletcher Cox, James Bradberry, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson — among others — to lucrative deals.

It was also announced that Darius Slay was granted permission to seek a trade, further clouding up a transition period for one of the NFL’s top defenses in 2022.

With the new league year fast approaching, here’s one pending free agent from each AFC team that the Birds should target.

5 under the radar defensive free agents for the Vikings to target

The Vikings will likely have to go bargain shopping during free agency. @TheKevinFielder identifies five defensive players they could target

Do you remember the Macklemore song called Thrift Shop?

Like Macklemore, the Minnesota Vikings will do a little thrift shopping this off-season. While the Vikings will have more than $20 to spend, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mesah will still have to get creative.

The Vikings are currently $24 million over the cap, according to OverTheCap. Such a figure ranks 30th in the NFL, above the Arizona Cardinals ($56 million) and the New Orleans Saints ($30 million).

While the Vikings can make a handful of moves to get under the cap, they’ll still have to find some bargain-bin free agents to fill out their roster or get low-end starters.

For the sake of this experiment, we’ll look at five defensive free agents the Vikings can target. Determining an “under-the-radar” signing can be challenging, but we’re sticking to unrestricted free agents that won’t dominate the headlines.
