After months of being questioned about the Bears being light on pass rushers, general manager Ryan Poles finally delivered an answer Thursday.
The Bears agreed to a deal with former Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, a source said. NFL Network reported it’s a one-year, $10.5 million contract, which would make him the fifth-highest paid player on the roster this season.
He sent out a bear emoji on X shortly after the news broke.
Ngakoue, 28, has averaged more than nine sacks per season over his career and had 9 1/2 for the Colts last season.
