The Chicago Bears have signed linebacker T.J. Edwards to a three-year, $19.5 million deal, making him one of the steals of free agency.
Edwards, a Lake Villa, Ill., native, grew up a Bears fan. He idolized players like Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Mike Brown and Devin Hester. For Edwards, the opportunity to play for his hometown team was too great to pass up.
