The Bears have made their big splash of free agency by agreeing to a five-year, $70 million deal with Cowboys pass rusher Robert Quinn, ESPN reported. That almost certainly means they are releasing outside linebacker Leonard Floyd and getting out of his $13.2 million option for 2020.
Quinn, who turns 30 in May, had 11.5 sacks in a resurgent season with Dallas last year. He had 34 tackles and 22 total quarterback hits (includes sacks).
Floyd, meanwhile, had a career-low three sacks last season and totaled just 18 in four years after Bears general manager Ryan Pace picked him No. 9 overall in 2016.
