Bears Acquire Darrell Taylor from Seahawks

The Chicago Bears have traded for edge rusher Darrell Taylor from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft. Taylor, who has recorded 21.5 sacks over three seasons, will bolster the Bears' pass rush alongside Montez Sweat and DeMarcus Walker. The trade comes as the Bears face roster cuts, putting players like Dominique Robinson at risk of being waived. Taylor's addition is seen as a low-risk move for the Bears, allowing them to enhance their defense without complicating their long-term plans. His best season was in 2022 with 9.5 sacks, and now he aims to make an impact on a young and improving Bears defense. The Seahawks opted to trade Taylor to avoid paying him in the final year of his contract, securing a late-round pick instead.
