The Chicago Bears were expected to sign defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi to a lucrative three-year deal worth $40.5 million. While the two sides agreed to terms, the Bears announced they won’t be signing Ogunjobi after he failed to pass a physical.
Ogunjobi, who was coming off a career year with the Cincinnati Bengals, was expected to serve as the three-technique in Matt Eberflus’ defense. Now, the Bears have a big need at the three-technique spot.
Ogunjobi suffered a foot injury in the wild-card round of the playoffs, which sidelined him for the remainder of Cincinnati’s Super Bowl run. He had foot surgery in January.
