The Chicago Bears had to pivot at defensive tackle after news broke that big-name signing Larry Ogunjobi would not be signing with the team after failing a physical. It didn’t take long for the Bears to sign former Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackle Justin Jones in his place.
While it wasn’t a good look for general manager Ryan Poles in regards to Ogunjobi, he did react rather quickly to find a quality replacement at the three-technique position in Jones.
Details of Jones’ contract have emerged, and it’s certainly more reasonable than Ogunjobi’s, which was to be expected. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, it’s a two-year deal worth $12 million for Jones.
