Re: 2024 Chicago Bears

From ESPN, on what each team should still get done this
off-season…
Bears sign EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah
The Bears checked off just about everything on their needs list
this offseason, but a notable exception was not adding a second
pass-rusher behind Montez Sweat. Coach Matt Eberflus might
understandably feel good about where his defense stands when you
consider Chicago ranked second in points allowed per possession
over the second half of 2024, but that was fueled by an
unsustainable turnover rate (20% of opposing drives, the second
highest in the league) as opposed to a great pass rush. Even
with Sweat playing well after his arrival from Washington over
the second half of the season, the Bears ranked 21st in sack
rate and 25th in pressure rate.
Last year, the Bears took a training camp flier on Yannick
Ngakoue, but it didn't pan out, as they paid him $10.5 million
for a career-low four sacks. Ogbah, 30, should come in at a
fraction of that cost. He spent most of last season in a limited
role with the Dolphins as he returned from a triceps injury and
was buried behind multiple standouts on the depth chart, but he
still managed 5.5 sacks and nine knockdowns across just 128
pass-rush opportunities. (That's roughly four games worth of
pass rushes for a full-time player such as Maxx Crosby.)
Those numbers aren't going to project to All-Pro production over
a full workload -- Ogbah is probably best spotted in a
situational role at this point of his career -- but the Bears
need bodies in their edge rotation. Getting 300 snaps of solid
pass-rushing performance from Ogbah for $2 million or so would
be a good deal for GM Ryan Poles.

Annually, it seems the Bears play only one game in October.
Curious what is up with that? Other events in Soldier that
month?
Anyone can answer this question, not directed to VJ.

I like that the Lions have to come to Soldier in December. For
the most part dome teams don't like December games in the cold.
