The Chicago Bears made their first free agent splash with an expected signing defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, who’s signing a three-year deal worth $40.5 million, including $26.35 million guaranteed.
Ogunjobi, 27, is coming off a career with the Bengals, where he had 49 tackles, including 12 tackles-for-loss, seven sacks and 16 QB hits in the regular season. He was a big part of Cincinnati’s Super Bowl run. Although, he missed the final three postseason games with a foot injury that required surgery.
As you can imagine, there’s been plenty of reaction with the Ogunjobi signing. For the most part, Bears fans are excited about the move that ultimately fills a huge hole at the 3-technique position on Matt Eberflus’ defense. There are others who would prefer to see more big spending on the offense, where adding players around Justin Fields should be a focal point.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to the Ogunjobe signing:
