The Chicago Bears are making moves in the beginning stages of the legal tampering period to improve the team. They made a big signing to replace linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, and it appears that people are fans of this move. Let’s take a closer look at what grade they received for this signing by one outlet.
The Chicago Bears received an excellent grade for the Devin Bush signing
The Bears have been active during the offseason thus far as they are making moves to bolster up the team. One of the key signings they have agreed upon is with linebacker Devin Bush. They agreed upon a three-year, $30 million contract with $21 million guaranteed. The Athletic’s Daniel Popper wrote a little bit regarding the deal and gave Chicago an ‘A’ grade for the deal. Below is the snippet he wrote about the pairing:
“The Bears cut off-ball linebacker Tremaine Edmunds earlier this offseason to save $15 million in cap space. They then turned to free agency to find a better, cheaper option at the same age. Edmunds provided the spine of the Bears defense with athleticism and coverage ability. Bush can fill a similar role to Edmunds against the pass, though he is not quite as long as Edmunds. Bush was a top-10 pick in 2019, and he put his game fully together in 2025 in Jim Schwartz’s Brown defense. He has elite athletic traits, including sideline-to-sideline speed. And he has the eyes to fit into multiple zone coverage looks. This is smart team-building from the Bears.”
Bush spent the last two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, and had his best statistical season to date. He played in all 17 games and recorded 125 total tackles (63 solo, 62 assisted) with two sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception, and eight pass deflections. The ability to get younger at the position and bring in a former top-10 pick to replace Edmunds, so it makes sense for the high grade. It will be intriguing to see how he does once we see him in a Bears uniform.
