Yeah was using overthecap but didn't realize that 70m already included Edwards as well. Was thinking they may have Edmunds count like 20m this year and then have his salary drop in later years just to help with the cash spend minimum which they have to meet this year. That would be 50m then Nate Davis is another 5-10 again depending on if they front load. But yeah probably more like 45-50m given Edwards already included.
The best way to spend cash this year is a signing bonus.

Lol at spending all this money on off the ball LBs.

Somebody tell our meathead coach this isn't the early 2000s. Off ball LBs don't win you games.

KC just won it all with two second round LBs on their rookie contract.
I’m sure having the league’s best quarterback and best TE and best OL has absolutely zero benefit too.

Edwards Mike and Edmunds Will if I had to guess. Edwards is more of the steady guy and better in run D while Edmunds had an amazing year in coverage and probably more of the big play guy best suited for Will.
I would agree the weakside linebacker in this defense is who you pay

Edmunds had a 90 grade in coverage while Edwards was 78. But as I said it was an amazing year for Edmunds because historically he has been bad in coverage. Highest grade prior to last year was 55. So will have to see if that was just an anomaly or if he just needed time as he entered the league at 19 and still just 24.
and he did that against a general great conference of qb

So in the last 4 days Poles brought in DJ Moore, Nate Davis, Tremaine Edmunds and TJ Edwards along with an extra 2nd this year, a first next year and a 2nd in 2025. This sucks!

People keep talking about how linebacker is not important after watching our defense go to total shit after we traded away Roquan.
The Bears need good linebackers because their defensive line sucks!

Two players with 5 years experience and production, age 26 or younger.

What were the three positions Eberflus said were critical to his defenses success when he was brought in last year?
