10 Mar
Summary
- Coby Bryant, Devin Bush, and Neville Gallimore join the Bears.
- D'Marco Jackson and Braxton Jones were re-signed by the team.
- Jackson signed a two-year deal, potentially securing a linebacker role.
The Chicago Bears initiated free agency with several impactful acquisitions, securing Coby Bryant, Devin Bush, and Neville Gallimore. The team also successfully re-signed two of their own players, D'Marco Jackson and Braxton Jones, bolstering their roster.
Notably, D'Marco Jackson's two-year, $7.5 million contract positions him as a potential starting third linebacker, with an expected key role in coverage. This deal offers him considerable security.
Braxton Jones was re-signed to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million, providing an opportunity to reclaim his starting position. The competition at his position also includes Theo Benedet, who signed for $1 million.
While the Bears did not make a major acquisition at the edge rusher position, their restraint suggests confidence in Austin Booker and a reluctance to overpay in a competitive market.
