Bears Release Tremaine Edmunds, Clear Cap Space

0:00From NFL coverage, this is your March 6 update. The Chicago Bears are making ways in their off-season by releasing linebacker, Tremaine Edmonds. The former Pro Bowl player, with 900 career tackles over 8 seasons as a full-time starter, is now a free agent. This move clears significant cap space for the team as they rebuild their defense. Edmonds joined the Bears before the 2023 season after 5 years with the Buffalo Bills. In Chicago, he racked up 335 tackles, nine interceptions, and other key plays, becoming a core part of their defense. Under new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, the Bears eyed Edmonds as a potential cap casualty. Even with 112 tackles last year despite missing four games, the team wants to bring in Allen's preferred players, releasing him saves $15 million in cap space. People first tried to trade Edmonds earlier this off-season, but no deal came through. So now, he's free to sign anywhere, giving him options after a solid career.
