The Chicago Bears made another move along the defensive line with the addition of edge rusher Rasheem Green, who’s signing a one-year deal with the team.
Green is a former third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, who played four years with Seattle before joining the Houston Texans in 2022. He’s already played five years in the league and is only 25 years old, so there’s plenty of upside with this move by general manager Ryan Poles.
He’s totaled 10 sacks over the last two seasons, with his best season coming in 2021, when he notched 6.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hits with the Seahawks.
Green is a versatile defensive lineman with the ability to play outside and inside, and he should be a solid rotational piece in Matt Eberflus’ defense.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to the move:
Dude had some pretty good seasons with the Seahawks a couple years ago. https://t.co/xRutie0JN0

Real good depth and value signing. He’s an ascending talent who has his best football ahead of him imo. #Bears https://t.co/rFp9Ywwg3f

we may not have any starting quality EDGE players but you can be damn sure we have an avengers level collection of 3rd stringers. https://t.co/0IzlgTFkrf

This is somewhat interesting as a flyer. Like Walker, there's some inside-outside potential here. https://t.co/SVJVcxq03U

Player I liked as a potential depth signing for the #saints after the draft. No longer possible. https://t.co/Sq3ViBeGlV

Thought he would be someone the 49ers would be interested in due to his age, physical traits and potential upside https://t.co/CQNj0bZKZd

Not a bad signing this late into FA https://t.co/reQmLr3wcN

Love it, another pass rusher with inside/outside versatility. 60 QB pressures and ten sacks over last two years, 62.9 run defense grade in 2022 was a career-high https://t.co/ur6ef5acAe

I’m not familiar with buddy but it’s apparent Poles wants to sign young guys with potential https://t.co/Gij4olK5H0

New #Bears DL Rasheem Green has had 10 sacks over the last 2 seasons.
He’s an athletic defender with inside-outside versatility. Should be a solid rotational piece who plays a decent role for Chicago’s defensive line. pic.twitter.com/vzPUSecmUl

New #Bears acquisition Rasheem Green is a LARGE defensive end.
At 6’4 280, Green is a quick and productive pass rusher, tallying 10 sacks over the last 2 seasons.

The Bears are signing veteran defensive lineman Rasheem Green on a one-year deal, @AdamSchefter reports. He's just 25 and with five productive seasons under his belt, including a career-high 6.5 sacks two years ago.

This is someone I felt was a fit for the #Bears as a rotational guy at DE. Has scheme familiarity from his time playing for Lovie Smith in HOU. https://t.co/BnEow9hXnT

Poles showed me in 2 off seasons that: He will not overpay for players who are old/non scheme fits who are looking for big pay days. He will pay for potential and give upside players a 1 year deal. I love the mindset. Build through the draft and make your coaches earn their pay https://t.co/MZbKi7cZO5

With the signing of Billings Walker and now green add Justin Jones if not horrible but it little bit upgraded from last yr and I think we go edge heavy. https://t.co/jBKMxpucJt

Rasheed Green is a good signing for the Bears. Will play in the rotation and is able to rush the passer from inside or outside. Still need 2more on the DLine, one edge, one inside
— Greg Gabriel (@ggabefootball) April 6, 2023
This dude can play DL and LB. As LOLB in 2021, he started 16 games, had 6.5 sacks, 6 TFLs, and 15 QB hits.
Solid depth move on the cheap. https://t.co/81oxLQP1cM
