Before the 2023 season, the Bears signed Edwards with a three -year contract and $ 19.5 million and they liked what they have seen of him the last two seasons. He was entering the last year of the agreement and was ready to make a base salary of $ 5.4 million in 2025.
Edwards has started each game the last two seasons, combining for 284 total cups, including 170 alone, 14 quartback hits, 10 passes defended, 6.5 catches and four interceptions. The 28 -year -old ended last season with 129 tacle in total, including 79 alone, along with six quartback hits, a large looting, two recovered and one forced loose balls.

Before joining the Bears, Edwards spent four years with the Philadelphia Eagles after leaving Wisconsin in 2019. Edwards emerged as a starter at the end of his rookie season in Philadelphia and charged signing with the Bears as a free agent.
This low season, the Bears have made a point to ensure some key defense pieces and this is another example. The team also signed corner Kyler Gordon for an extension of three years and corner Jaylon Johnson to an extension of four years.
After leaving 5-12 last season, the Bears fired coach Matt Eberflus and hired the offensive coordinator of Detroit Lions Ben Johnson.
