The Chicago Bears are signing defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo to a three-year, $48-million deal with $32 million guaranteed, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Odeyingbo has 106 total tackles, 16.5 sacks, and 21 tackles for loss in 61 career games. His best pass-rushing season came in 2023 when he recorded eight sacks and 17 quarterback hits.
The 25-year-old has just 19 starts since being drafted 54th overall in 2021, but 14 of those came in 2024.
Odeyingbo is expected to start opposite Montez Sweat, with Austin Booker playing a rotational role.
