ESPN reporter Adam Schefter broke the news on Monday. This marks the team's third defensive signing in the 2026 free agency period. Earlier this week, the Bears started with the offensive tackle, Neville-Galamour, then added safety, Kobe Bryant. Now they're bolstering the linebacker spot after releasing Tremaine Edmonds, which freed up $15 million in cap space. Bush is a 27-year-old who spent his last two seasons with the Browns. He was a first-round pick by the Steelers back in 2019, but didn't meet expectations there. After a stint with a Seahawks in 2023, he bounced back strong in Cleveland. In the 2025 season, Bush racked up 125 tackles over 17 games. He also had three interceptions, eight past deflections, two force fumbles, two sacks,

1:01and two defensive touchdowns. His impact score ranked 12th among Linebackers league-wide. Bush brings strong coverage skills that pair well with TJ Edwards' run-stopping style. Together, they should form a solid starting duo with their Marco Jackson likely as the third option in base defenses. This move helps fill a key gap for Chicago right away.
