After the Bears revamped their coaching staff, Edmunds began playing the weakside linebacker position under defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and found success. Earlier in the season, the former Pro Bowler excelled in the role, producing three consecutive weeks of double-digit tackles and coming away with four interceptions. Unfortunately, Edmunds suffered a groin injury in the second half of the season that kept him out of four games. After returning, Edmunds struggled to regain his early season form. He finished the year with 112 total tackles, three for loss, four interceptions and one fumble recovery.
Entering the final year of his contract, Edmunds is owed $17 million, and it appears the Bears don’t want to be forced to pay that money. Edmunds will only be 28 years old entering the 2026 season and has shown that he can be a solid performer when healthy. But it seems his days in Chicago are numbered. We’ll see if the Bears find someone to take him or opt to release him, which would save them $15 million against the salary cap.
