Defensive tackle Mario Edwards will not hit the free agency after all.

According to a source aware of the situation, the Bears have agreed to enter into a multi-year agreement with Edwards.

A second pick for the Raiders in 2015, Edwards spent three years in Oakland before moving to the Giants for 2018, the Saints for 2019, and the Bears for 2020. He signed with Chicago three days after making a final loss in New Orleans.

Edwards played 15 games in Chicago last year and recorded a career-high four pockets.

His return to the Bears comes despite being suspended for the first two games of 2021 for violating PED policy.
