"Former Browns LB Devin Bush reached agreement today on a 3-year, $30 million deal that includes $21 million guaranteed with the Chicago Bears. Bush, who turns 28 in July, is getting a three-year deal worth $30 million. Once the contract is made officially official at 3 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Bush will get $21 million worth of guarantees. That is a nice payday for the University of Michigan product."
"Bush is coming off his best year as a pro, stuffing the stat sheet with 125 total tackles (63 solo), eight passes defended, seven tackles-for-loss, four quarterback hits, and two sacks. The number that stands out is the three interceptions, which include a pair of pick-sixes. All that production helps explain how Pro Football Focus came to give him an 87.6 overall grade that ranked fourth among 88 linebackers."
"Devin Bush figures to be a true three-down linebacker. He was superb in coverage (80.4 grade was 4th among LBs) and as a run-defender (87.3 grade was 8th among LBs) last season. If that production carries over into 2026, then the Bears will have quite the signing on their hands."
Devin Bush, a 27-year-old linebacker, agreed to join the Chicago Bears on a three-year contract worth $30 million with $21 million guaranteed.
