When news first broke that unrestricted free-agent linebacker Tremaine Edmunds was set to sign with the Chicago Bears, most Buffalo Bills fans were some version of stunned or dejected.
Even though it was unlikely Edmunds would return to the Bills given his projected market, there was always hope that rumors of his departure would be just that — and he was always staying in town. But professional football is a business, and every player dreams of a promotion similar to what Edmunds found in the Windy City.
Shortly after the new league year made his departure official, Tremaine Edmunds took to Instagram to bid a fond farewell to everyone and everything that has meant so much to him the last half decade.
