According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Bears have agreed to terms with former second-round pick defensive end Mario Edwards, who was released by the New Orleans Saints on Saturday.

The Bears add some veteran help on the defensive line with the addition of Edwards, who spent his first three seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. Edwards played for the New York Giants in 2018 before signing with the Saints in 2019.
Last season, Edward had eight tackles and three sacks on 293 defensive snaps in New Orleans.
