Bears Sign Devin Bush to Boost Defense

The Chicago Bears kicked off the 2026 NFL Free Agency period by signing Linebacker Devon Bush to a $3 million dollar contract with $21 million guaranteed. This move bolsters their defense right away, with Bush set to start in the middle of the unit after a breakout year. Earlier this week, Bush wrapped up his best season ever with the Cleveland Browns, starting all 17 games and racking up 125. Tackles, two sacks, three interceptions, eight passes defended, and two defensive touchdowns. That effort included a 97-yard pick-6 that earned him AFC defensive player of the week honors. Bush was once a top prospect, taken 10th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2019 draft out of Michigan. He shone as a rookie with 109 tackles and all rookie honors, but injuries like a torn ACL in 2020 slowed him down before he.

Bush fits perfectly as an athletic presence who impacts both the run and past games. If Bush keeps producing at that high level into his prime, he could anchor Chicago's new defensive core and help push them toward a more aggressive style overall.
