Bears sign LB Tremaine Edmunds

Big Rick in FL : 3/13/2023 4:00 pm
Per RapSheet
FUDGE. I bet it's a huge deal.  
Anakim : 3/13/2023 4:01 pm : link
Bears are really using up that salary cap space.
largest deal for an ILB

our options are drying up

fast
I wanted him  
Big Rick in FL : 3/13/2023 4:03 pm : link
Not anywhere near that price.

4 years 72 million

No thanks
$50M guaranteed too.

I'd be more than happy with Okereke or Wagner. Not too familiar with Long.
That is crazy... I know he  
Amtoft : 3/13/2023 4:04 pm : link
is just getting to his prime though.
bears are signing BOTH ILS?

Edwards and Edmunds WOW

Not really, there's plenty of options at that position.

*ILB
It’s okay  
Breeze_94 : 3/13/2023 4:05 pm : link
Would rather have guys like Okereke, Long, and Tranquill for 1/3 or 1/2 the price.

Edmunds is a good player whose only getting better. Was the one “splurge” top of the market signing I would’ve been okay with. Maybe Jamel Dean..
Wow…  
prdave73 : 3/13/2023 4:05 pm : link
I was hoping the Giants would sign him?! They needed this player.. Didn’t the Bears just sign TJ Edwards?? Damn..
Good player....no way is that worth it.  
George from PA : 3/13/2023 4:06 pm : link
The Giants should have extended Big Dex yesterday

Is still out there and one of my favorites
Ok  
prdave73 : 3/13/2023 4:08 pm : link
I get that price they signed him for is ridiculous, but couldn’t they go after TJ Edwards and offer him a bit more than the Bears did? Smh..
Good  
eric2425ny : 3/13/2023 4:09 pm : link
Almost every Bills fan I ask say that he is way overrated and not worth a sizeable contract.

yeah long is good but something about a 5'11 LB scares me.
ILB is a value spot  
JonC : 3/13/2023 4:09 pm : link
more often than not, especially when you're paying big bucks to DTs, Edges, and CBs, not to mention a QB on prime $.
Pratt is a steal  
CromartiesKid21 : 3/13/2023 4:10 pm : link
If Edmunds got this deal
First day signings  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 3/13/2023 4:10 pm : link
Tend to be overpays. Let the Bears use their salary cap.
Defensive HC  
Lines of Scrimmage : 3/13/2023 4:11 pm : link
and a LB coach. Bears have been relevant when they had a great D and MLB. We will see if Edmunds takes the next step and becomes the next one.
This is a very deep UFA LB class  
AcesUp : 3/13/2023 4:11 pm : link
It's ok to let the money dry up to try and grab value at the position. Still plenty of strong players available at the position.

Chicago was in a use or lose it spot with all their cap space, they're using it. Surprised they didn't trade for Tunsil with the need to spend that cap and all the draft capital. I guess it's still early.
We aren’t going to get any Tier 1 FAs  
UConn4523 : 3/13/2023 4:12 pm : link
I expect Schoen to be all over the tier 2 and 3 guys and after last offseason I have complete confidence in this strategy.
Haven't watched many Chargers games  
Big Rick in FL : 3/13/2023 4:13 pm : link
Thoughts on Tranquill? Almost 150 tackles and 5 sacks last year. Based on the sack bh. Hers you'd think he'd be a good fit for Winks Defense.
Tranquill is rugged, plays big  
JonC : 3/13/2023 4:14 pm : link
makes plays.

Good fit for us?

Hearing anything?
I think so

nothing I can share atm.
Wow...

That really is..My guess is that Schoen didn’t want to go anywhere near that
I can already tell  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/13/2023 4:31 pm : link
the Bears will continue to suck.
But they didn’t want to…  
Ryan : 3/13/2023 4:32 pm : link
…. pay that to Roquan Smith. Interesting.

Jon what do you think about Long. Any insights?

Fast, fire hydrant, a bit undersized but fun to watch burst after the football. I like him, you need size next to and in front of him to protect him in the run game.
Good news  
cosmicj : 3/13/2023 4:44 pm : link
Didn’t want the Bills connection leading to him signing here.

Thanks. Watched a highlight reel and that's what it showed. He has a swim move around blockers that's pretty impressive.
Bears signed Khalil Mack a few seasons back

New guy in charge in the Windy City. It's good if a long time franchise becomes very relevant again, esp. since we won't have to play them for a few years regular season.

He is the LB I want, he is pretty good in coverage and seems to make plays. I know he struggled a bit to shed blocks early in his career but a friend of mine who is a rabin Chargers fan said he really stepped up his game this year.

Which makes perfect sense, since we don't really have it to blow.

I like Edwards, but not sure @ that coin. The Bears got the $ to spend so I'm not surprised.
Good for them

I believe that we learned in 2016 what happens when you sign a bunch of high-priced free agents.
