Open Extended ReactionsINDIANAPOLIS -- The Chicago Bears have granted linebacker Tremaine Edmunds permission to seek a trade, a source confirmed to ESPN. Edmunds, 27, is entering the final season of the four-year, $72 million contract he signed with the Bears as a free agent in 2023. If Edmunds does not find a trade partner, he is in line to become a cap casualty. "There's a couple guys we've got to make decisions on," Bears general manager Ryan Poles said when asked Tuesday about Edmunds' future. The news that the Bears are allowing Edmunds to find a trade was first reported by the Chicago Tribune.
