"After missing the 2023 season because of an ACL injury suffered during a training camp practice that summer, Lynch spent the last two seasons with the Tennessee Titans. Lynch hasn't missed a game in the two years since returning from injury. In those 34 games, the Baylor University product collected 1.5 sacks, 45 total tackles (20 solo), 3 tackles-for-loss, and five quarterback hits while playing on just 579 total snaps."
"Once the deal becomes officially official, James will join Neville Gallimore and Kentavius Street as the third free-agent defensive tackle signing this offseason. Understandably, one of the front office's offseason missions was to add depth to the interior defensive line. To that end, the Bears are doing a bang-up job."
"The powers that be at Halas Hall clearly did not love the depth at that particular position group and decided to attack the problem with a volume approach. And I see nothing wrong with that. NFL trench wars are a battle of attrition. So it makes sense to bring in waves of players who could be helpful pieces of the puzzle."
The Chicago Bears signed defensive tackle James Lynch, a former fourth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. Lynch spent the last two seasons with the Tennessee Titans after missing the 2023 season due to an ACL injury. In 34 games since returning from injury, he recorded 1.5 sacks, 45 total tackles, 3 tackles-for-loss, and five quarterback hits on 579 snaps. This signing marks the Bears' third free-agent defensive tackle addition this offseason, joining Neville Gallimore and Kentavius Street. The Bears' front office is employing a volume approach to address depth concerns at the interior defensive line position, bringing in multiple players to create competition and provide rotational depth.
