For all the PFFers, Bush was the 3rd highest graded LB in the NFL at 87.6 with over 500 snaps. The highest graded Bear last year was Jackson at 76.4, and Byard at 75.4.

So the Bears have had a slight downgrade at Center, a solid upgrade at Safety, and a very solid upgrade at LB.

Also, they signed Bush and Jackson for less than what Edmunds hit would have been.

I didn't know much about Bush but he has speed to burn. 10 mil sounds like a good deal for his stats.

Bush is a hunter. He's great at sniffing out the run and blitzing. He's not great in coverage, his INTs all came on deflected balls, but his situational awareness is very high. If something floats near him, he's snatching it. Hes a real asset in the run game tho - he locks on like a missile and finds his way through traffic well. Hes got a high motor too, making plays from the backside when the hole gets slightly gummed up.

Bryant is great. Physical, good in coverage, a ball hawk, and a peanut puncher.

Both these guys look like Bears players.

The Giants signed Edmunds for more than the Bears did on Bush.

I saw that. Also saw where Bryant first year cap hit is 6 mil and 4 mil for the DT. Never saw the Bush cost yet.
