NFL free agency officially kicked off at 3 p.m. Wednesday, and after spending the first year tearing the roster down, Bears general manager Ryan Poles' complete rebuild got off to a strong start.
The first new Bear announced, linebacker T.J. Edwards, is just 26 years old. Edwards, a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, grew up in Lake Villa and committed to coming home. More importantly, he was the leading tackler last season on the NFC Conference champion Philadelphia Eagles. He finished seventh in the NFL tackles.
Free agent No. 4 is defensive tackle DeMarcus Walker -- also from the Titans -- and at age 28, he is coming off his best season as a pro, which included seven sacks. by signing up you agree to our terms of service Clearly, Poles is acquiring emerging and still developing young talent at reasonable prices. All are players likely to be important pieces of the Bears' next contending team.
Another way to look at this is with a return to good health from Jack Sanborn, -- arguably the most pleasant surprise and acquisition from last offseason -- the Bears could be fully set at linebacker -- arguably the most important group in head coach Matt Eberflus' defense -- for the next four to six seasons. All three have shown and produced enough to possibly become one of the best linebacker groups in the league.
Priority No. 1 for this offseason is getting Justin Fields the tools he needs to prove he can be a franchise quarterback.
