Bears sign Germain Ifedi to one-year deal
The Chicago Bears signed offensive lineman Germain Ifedi to a one-year contract on Wednesday.
What It Means:
The former 31st overall pick from the 2016 draft spent his first four seasons in Seattle and played the majority of his snaps last season at right tackle. The 25-year-old may be asked to slide to guard this season to help replace the retiring Kyle Long. He joins a Chicago Bears unit that ranked 20th in both run and pass blocking last season, per Pro Football Focus.
Last season, Ifedi allowed a career-high 7 sacks, 6 quarterback hits, 39 hurries, 52 pressures, and committed 14 penalties. He received a pass-blocking grade of 63.3 and a run-blocking grade of 57.6 from Pro Football Focus.
