🚨 The Chicago Bears may not be done adding to their roster — and the pass rush could still be the spot to watch.
On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the Bears recently hosting former Buffalo Bills second-round edge rusher A.J. Epenesa for a workout. With Montez Sweat leading the group, Austin Booker expected to take another step, and Dayo Odeyingbo plus Shemar Turner returning from injuries, Chicago appears to have confidence in its pass rush — but bringing in Epenesa shows the front office is still doing its due diligence.
Haize also dives into why a healthy T.J. Edwards is massive for Dennis Allen’s defense. After injuries limited Edwards last season, Bears linebackers coach Richard Smith praised his leadership, intelligence, versatility, and impact as a player who can handle all three linebacker spots. With Tremaine Edmunds gone, Edwards’ return matters even more.
Then it’s time to talk offense. Rome Odunze is reportedly fully healthy this offseason, and that could be huge for Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson’s offense. Odunze was on a tear before his foot/heel injury slowed him down last year, and a full healthy season could unlock another level for Chicago’s passing game.
Plus, could Luther Burden be the Bears’ next breakout star? With DJ Moore gone and Burden entering Year 2, his physicality, yards-after-catch ability, versatility, and expanded role could make him one of the most exciting weapons on the roster.
