The Bears are allowing veteran outside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds to seek a trade this offseason, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection is set to earn $15 million in salary and bonuses in 2026 and carries a cap hit of $17.43 million.

Edmunds, who turns 28 in May, led the Bears with 112 tackles in just 13 games last season. He also intercepted four passes and recovered a fumble. He missed four games with a groin injury.

Edmunds has recorded at least 100 tackles in each of his first eight NFL seasons. He has 900 career stops with 8.5 sacks and 14 interceptions in 119 games (all starts) with the Bills (2018-22) and Bears. Buffalo drafted him with the 16th overall pick in 2018 and he made the Pro Bowl in 2019 and 2020.
