Bears add Devin Bush, bolstering pass rush under Dennis Allen
Summary

The Chicago Bears signed linebacker Devin Bush to a three-year, $30 million deal as part of their roster changes ahead of the 2026 season. Bush, who previously played for the Cleveland Browns, is expected to enhance the Bears' blitz-friendly defense orchestrated by coordinator Dennis Allen. Last season, Bush showcased his pass rushing ability with 46 snaps, resulting in two sacks and eight pressures. In comparison, his predecessor Tremaine Edmunds struggled with consistency, earning just one sack in 80 pass rush snaps. Bush's speed and pass-rushing capabilities may unlock new opportunities for the Bears this summer as he adapts to Allen's defensive system and aims to replicate the success of former linebacker Demario Davis.
