Coming off of a dominant 2021 season that saw him record a career-high 7.0 sacks for the Cincinnati Bengals in the regular season, Larry Ogunjobi appeared to be in line for a huge pay day as one of the premier interior defensive linemen on the open market.
A Lisfranc foot injury in the Bengals’ Wild Card win over the Las Vegas Raiders ended his season prematurely, causing him to miss the Bengals’ run to the Super Bowl, but the standout defensive tackle was still in line for a big pay day. The Chicago Bears put faith in him early in free agency, inking him to a three-year, $40.
