The Chicago Bears made a splash in NFL free agency in agreeing to terms with linebacker Tremaine Edmunds on a four-year, $72 million deal with $50 million guaranteed.
The Bears bolstered their linebacker group in a big way with Edmunds and T.J. Edwards, who figure to play WILL and MIKE linebacker, respectively.
Edmunds, who’s only 24, is everything Matt Eberflus is looking for in a WILL linebacker. He’s been a solid run defender and improved significantly in coverage last season with a 90 grade from Pro Football Focus.
We spoke to Nick Wojton of Bills Wire, who gave us the rundown on what we can expect from the Bears’ new linebacker and why he will be a good fit for Chicago.
