Chicago See's Two New Linebackers as a Long-term Duo

Ryan Poles, the general manager of the Chicago Bears, made a significant signing in Tremaine Edmunds, who agreed to a four-year contract worth $72 million (including $50 million guaranteed). On the other hand, T.J. Edwards was a bargain acquisition for the team, signing a three-year contract worth $19.5 million (with $7.9 million guaranteed).

According to Bears coach Matt Eberflus, both Edmunds and Edwards are expected to make a substantial impact on the team and remain as valuable contributors for a long time.

«A guy like T.J. and a guy like Tre, those guys are young,» Eberflus said, via The Athletic. «We're excited about where they are. And they've produced in the league, so it's a known commodity. Those guys are players in this league.»

By addressing the need for linebackers through free agency, the Chicago Bears have the freedom to concentrate on other priorities in the upcoming NFL draft, particularly the offensive and defensive lines.

«Where we thought the draft was this year I thought that was a great move to take those guys (Edmunds, Edwards) where we got them,» Eberflus said. «Those guys are going to be valuable assets for our team for a long time.»
