Former Chicago Bears Edge Rusher Teases Possible Return

“When there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.” There’s been talk of a potential reunion between the Bears and free agent edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue for a while now. He’s been linked to the team since last season ended. Given the Bears ongoing need for depth in that position, bringing in Ngakoue, who’s already familiar with their system, makes a lot of sense. The Bears probably won’t seek a long-term solution opposite Montez Sweat until next offseason, whether through free agency, a trade, or the 2025 NFL Draft.
