The Bears agreed to a three-year deal with linebacker T.J. Edwards just minutes into the league’s legal tampering period, a source confirmed. He’ll make a guaranteed $12 million over three years on a deal that could be worth as much as $19.5 million, the source said.
Edwards is a Lake Villa native — he played at Lakes Community High School — who attended Wisconsin before being signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He had 159 tackles in a breakout 2022 for the NFC champions, one year after posting 130. He’s started 47 games over the past three seasons.
