"Kevin Byard, I was told by somebody who would know, that he is 70-30 that he is going to get a Bear. They're working on it, they're trying to get a deal done that's fair for both sides. ... And then you're going to have to pair him, probably with a young safety, unless there is a veteran out there."
"Tremaine Edmunds is free to explore a trade. I would think, this week, we will get clarity on his situation. It looks like he's going to get moved. I don't know how high of a pick you will get, but you will get $15 million in salary cap relief."
David Kaplan reported that Kevin Byard is likely to remain with the Bears, with negotiations ongoing to finalize a deal acceptable to both parties. Byard has expressed his desire to return to Chicago for a third season. The Bears would need to pair Byard with a young safety or find a veteran option. Separately, Tremaine Edmunds has been granted permission to explore trades, with clarity expected this week. Multiple teams including the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans have shown interest in acquiring the linebacker. The Bears anticipate receiving approximately $15 million in salary cap relief from trading Edmunds, though the draft pick compensation remains uncertain.
