The Chicago Bears are looking to have a strong offseason as they prepare to take the next step as a team. They have made some shrewd decisions throughout the offseason with their signings. With the majority of the top free agents off the board, they are lookin to find quality without a massive pay. One outlet ranks one of their signings as a value, so let’s take a closer look at who it is.
PFF calls Devin Bush to the Chicago Bears one of the best value signings this offseason

Pro Football Focus’s Mason Cameron wrote an article highlighting the five best value signings this offseason. One of the deals he mentions is the Bears giving a three-year, $30 million contract to linebacker Devin Bush. Below is what he wrote about why it is on this list:
“Bush, a former top-10 pick, revitalized his career over the past two seasons in Cleveland, culminating in the fourth-highest PFF overall grade (87.6) among linebackers this past season. Boasting 97th percentile grades in box coverage and run defense since the start of 2024, Bush brings a strong, well-rounded skill set to a Bears defense that desperately needs a steady presence in the middle after ranking 31st in offensive success rate allowed in 2025.
“At just $10 million in average annual value, Bush’s contract comes in at a bargain compared to other options on the linebacker market. Six linebackers signed this offseason will earn more on average than Bush, including former Bear Tremaine Edmunds, who inked a three-year, $36 million deal with the Giants. Bush slotted in at ninth overall on PFF’s free agent rankings, giving Chicago massive value for the price.”
Bush is coming off a strong season where he led the league in both interception yardsage and interceptions returned for a touchdown. He finished 2025 with 125 total tackles (63 solo, 62 assisted) with 2.0 sacks, four quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and three interceptions (two for touchdowns). With a player ready to prove a point on a contending team, it will be interesting to see how he plays throughout the life of the contract.
