Twitter reacts to Bears signing OLB Jeremiah Attaochu

The Chicago Bears strengthened their pass rush with the signing of former Denver Broncos outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu to a two-year deal.

A former second-round pick, Attaochu has been a key rotational piece for Denver, and he’s certainly na upgrade over Barkevious Mingo.

In 2020, Attaochu appeared in 13 games with the Broncos, including five starts, and totaled 5.0 sacks, nine quarterback hits and 31 tackles, which was the second most of his career outside of his 2015 season (6.0 sacks and 55 tackles) with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Twitter had plenty of reaction to what was, low-key, a really solid move for the Bears during an ultimately disappointing offseason. Attaochu’s signing was met mostly with a bit of excitement given the upgrade at pass rush, but there were plenty of fans that refuse to celebrate any move made by GM Ryan Pace this offseason given holes at quarterback and the secondary.

Still, for the most part, it sounds like Pace appeased Bears fans for the first time since free agency began.

Good signing. I guess we're back focusing on the defensive side of the ball, but it would be nice to try and improve the WEAK side of the ball…you know the offense.🙄 https://t.co/eIZX1Hqlpz

Bears will forever be a defensive team…. https://t.co/OdXEDtoZT0

Doesn't solve the gaping holes in the secondary. Pace is a clown. https://t.co/tZp2fIB8S6

Maybe you guys should sign someone that can throw the football https://t.co/l3YuyAgB91

There’s no such thing as having too much edge help https://t.co/bncTq5Yr2k

Never worried about the defense. Pace will make great bargain signings every season. Need the offense to take the next step https://t.co/EBeAb0VTyU

Sneaky good signing https://t.co/gM9RLBmCtK

Very solid signing for rotational edge rush help (obviously pending details, but doubt it’s much)

Draft plan probably starting to show itself a bit: OL, S, WR, CB, LB https://t.co/SmyJWTa3eQ
