Few teams throw more money at outside linebackers than the Bears.
They employ the highest-paid edge rusher ever, Khalil Mack. And the $14.7 million cap hit they’ve allotted for fellow outside linebacker Robert Quinn this year is more than they’ll give Mack.
Last year, only three teams spent more on edge rushers. This year and next, only two will.
So why in the world would the Bears consider picking an edge rusher in the first two days of the draft? Because Quinn probably won’t make it to 2022.
Despite signing Quinn to a five-year, $70 million contract last offseason, the Bears can let him walk after this year having paid him $30.1 million over two years. They seem likely to do just that after Quinn was the most disappointing player on the team last year, totaling just two sacks despite benefiting from teams sending extra blockers at Mack on almost every down.
