The Chicago Bears have agreed to sign free agent defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo to a three-year, $48 million contract with $32 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN amid multiple reports.

The agreement gives the Bears a pass rusher opposite Montez Sweat.

One of the more versatile young edge players in the NFL, Odeyingbo entered free agency expected to have a strong market for his ability to play the run and rush the passer.

He led the Indianapolis Colts in pressures (33) and quarterback hits (17) in 2024, despite seeing his sack total fall from eight in 2023 to three last season.
