Bears GM Ryan Poles explains plan for DE Dayo Odeyingbo

In their flurry of offseason moves, the Chicago Bears focused on the offensive line, but they paid just as much attention to the defensive line, signing both Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo in free agency.

Jarrett, a 10-year veteran who played in a Super Bowl for the Atlanta Falcons, will be the more recognizable name, while Odeyingbo will look to make the most out of his new opportunity with Chicago.

Coming over from the Indianapolis Colts, Odeyingbo played in limited action but had the best season of his career in 2023, with 38 total tackles, eight sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
