Chicago Bears
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After increasing his production and playing time in each of his four years with the Eagles, Edwards signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Bears this offseason. In 2022, his 1,005 snaps was 311 more than he had in the previous campaign. With the move to a full-time role, he was able to post a career-high 159 tackles, his second in a row with triple digits. Aside from strong tackle numbers, though, Edwards has just five sacks and two forced fumbles as a pro. He'll be counted on for a similar workload in Chicago and thus should be a top IDP in the fall.

LBChicago Bears
March 13, 2023
Edwards agreed Monday with the Bears on a three-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
An undrafted free agent in 2019, the Wisconsin product caught on with Philadelphia and made at least 12 starts each of the past three seasons, including all 17 games in 2022 en route to a career-high 159 tackles. A native of the Chicago area, Edwards mostly played middle linebacker for the Eagles but could slide over to the weak side for the Bears if they want to keep Jack Sanborn (ankle) in the middle after his solid showing as a rookie in 2022. Edwards' contract reportedly pains him $19.5 million, including $12 million guaranteed, per Rapoport.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
In his third NFL campaign, Edwards totaled a career-high 130 tackles (64 solo), a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and five pass defenses across 16 games for the Eagles in 2021. This coming season, the 26-year-old will look to reprise his starting middle linebacker role -- one that carries IDP utility. To do so, however, he'll need to fend off the challenge of rookie Nakobe Dean, who Philadelphia landed in Round 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Edwards took a big step forward in his second season, more than doubling his rookie tackle total (30) with 70 stops on the year. The 24-year-old hasn't produced a ton of big plays in his two NFL seasons, but he nonetheless should compete for a starting role in 2021 with free-agent addition Eric Wilson.
