The Chicago Bears have reached an agreement with free agent linebacker Devin Bush on a three-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal is reportedly worth $30 million as the Bears continue to be aggressive in their pursuit of defensive talent this offseason.
The agreement was facilitated by Devin Bush's agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Bears front office has made it a priority to add veteran leadership and athleticism to their defensive front seven, and the acquisition of Bush aligns with that strategy. This multi-year commitment indicates that the team views the linebacker as a long-term fit for their defensive scheme.
Bush enters a Chicago locker room that has seen several changes recently as the team looks to improve upon its performance from last season. By landing a three-year deal, Bush gains stability while the Bears secure a key piece for their defensive rotation. Further details regarding the guaranteed money and specific structure of the contract have not yet been released.
