The Chicago Bears are not done adding to the roster ahead of the 2024 season.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that the Bears have acquired linebacker Darrell Taylor from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round pick.
Taylor is entering his fourth season in the NFL and has played in 41 games for Seattle, making 13 starts. He has recorded 91 tackles, 34 quarterback hits and 21.5 sacks over his career.
Taylor is entering the final year of his rookie deal and will hit unrestricted free agency at the end of the 2024 season.
Taylor may see a larger role with the Bears and the acquisition is another example of how Chicago wants to take a major step forward in 2024. The franchise has not reached the playoffs since 2020 and has not had a winning season since 2018.
Chicago went 7-10 in 2023 but had the No. 1 pick due to a 2023 trade with the Carolina Panthers. The Bears used the selection on quarterback Caleb Williams, and used another on wide receiver Rome Odunze.
Other notable moves from the Bears include acquiring wide receiver Keenan Allen and extending defensive standouts Montez Sweat and Jaylon Johnson.
The NFC North will be a difficult division once again in 2024, with the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers also possessing formidable rosters. However, Chicago hopes to crash that party and Taylor could be a solid piece for that effort.
