The Bears have brought FA DE-AJ Epenesa in for a workout late last week. Another talent to rotate with Sweat, Booker, Dayo, and Turner will help.

I trust Briggs that he dont put out info for clicks. So a good chance it happened. Its just depth, dont expect a lot if we do sign him. The Josh Sweat story is just a rumor, none of these sources carry any weight. So is that rumor # 87 that someone is coming here. I think if Dayo or Shemar arent ready we will be bringing someone else in.

Josh Sweat sucks and gets paid a lot of money for it. Epenesa would be the kind of depth signing I’m expecting except maybe we can get someone a little better. Prices are dropping with several viable options on the market. The meeting with Epenesa gives other agents an idea what the Bears are willing to spend. Plus adds a bit of credibility that they are looking to add a player at DE.

right, the more we wait, the lower the prices drop. GIven that there are at least 3 good free agent options at edge, waiting the market out makes sense.

Especially when it's older players that may not wish to attend the entire camp. Gives you some time to see what you have with Booker and Turner first.

Also, its possible that we will sign a LT or a DE but not both, so they might wait to see which is needed more once they see what Wills brings for example.

I still think theres a decent chance we will sign Tyler Decker. Maybe its between him and Cam Jordan/Von Milller and time will tell.
