The Eagles’ T.J. Edwards tackles Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

The Bears agreed to a three-year deal with linebacker T.J. Edwards just minutes into the league’s legal tampering period, a source confirmed.

He’ll make a guaranteed $12 million over three years, per NFL Network. He could make as much as $19.5 million.

Edwards is a Lake Villa native — he played at Lakes Community High School — who attended Wisconsin before being signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He had 159 tackles in a breakout 2022 for the NFC champions, one year after posting 130.
