Bears Weigh Anzalone as Edmunds Replacement, Tapping Saints Ties
The Chicago Bears are eyeing Detroit linebacker Alex Anzalone as a potential replacement for Tremaine Edmunds, citing his familiarity with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen from New Orleans and his fit in Chicago’s 4-3 scheme. Anzalone offers solid coverage and downhill tackling at a lower cost than Edmunds, especially after the Bears released Edmunds to free about $15 million in cap space.
