Bears Release Two-Time Pro Bowl LB Tremaine Edmunds, Clear $15M Cap Space

The Chicago Bears have released eight-year veteran linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, clearing $15 million in salary cap space. Edmunds, 27, a two-time Pro Bowler, recorded 112 tackles, four interceptions, one sack, and a fumble recovery in 13 games last season, missing four due to a groin injury. He was set to enter the final year of his four-year, $72 million deal. The move makes him an unrestricted free agent, with the Giants and Cowboys linked as potential suitors. GM Ryan Poles cited cap constraints for the tough decision.
