On a busy first day of legal negotiations, general manager Ryan Poles has made his first strike. The Bears are expected to sign former Bengals defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, reports NFL Network’s, Ian Rapoport. No one has yet to disclose the terms of the contract.
Ogunjobi was a key piece for Cincinnati’s AFC championship-winning squad last year. The 27-year-old enjoyed a 2021 campaign with 16 quarterback hits, 12 tackles for loss, and seven sacks on an underrated defense. He now enters the next phase of his career where Chicago, and the defensive-minded Matt Eberflus, will undoubtedly hope for similar production in the coming years.
