Bears Bring In Veteran Edge Rusher | Chicago News

The Chicago Bears are adding veteran edge rusher Marcus Davenport on a one-year deal, hoping he can contribute depth to a defensive line reshuffling. A first-round pick in 2018, Davenport brings familiarity with Bears coaches — having played under Dennis Allen in New Orleans and shared a locker room with head coach Matt Eberflus in Detroit. His recent production has been lackluster, ranking 103rd out of 115 edge rushers last year and posting just four sacks since 2021. With Montez Sweat recovering from injury and Dayo Odeyingbo shifting inside, the Bears see Davenport as a low-risk rotational piece — not a star, but a potential spark plug for their pass-rushing unit.
