Edwards to a two-year, $20 million contract extension, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.The Bears first signed Edwards to a three-year, $19.5 million contract during the 2023 offseason, and he’s been worth every penny. Even as the Bears defense regressed as the 2024 season went on, Edwards continued to make plays and proved to be one of their better players. He totaled 129 tackles, six QB hits, one interception, three pass breakups, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries, as well as set career highs in sacks (4) and tackles for loss (12).The move comes just a few days after they signed cornerback Kyler Gordon to a three-year, $40 million extension to keep him in Chicago through 2028.As you can imagine, there was plenty of reaction to Edwards’ extension as the Bears once again lock him down to a team-friendly deal. Edwards has proven to be an impactful off-ball linebacker who should thrive in new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen’s system. And it certainly sounds like Allen has plans for him after Chicago locked him down for a couple more years.NFL world reacts to Bears signing T.J.
