Edwards is set to sign a three-year contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
An undrafted free agent in 2019, the Wisconsin product caught on with Philadelphia and made at least 12 starts each of the past three seasons, including all 17 games in 2022 en route to a career-high 159 tackles. A native of the Chicago area, Edwards mostly played middle linebacker for the Eagles but could slide over to the weak side for the Bears if they want to keep Jack Sanborn (ankle) in the middle after his solid showing as a rookie in 2022. Edwards' contract reportedly is for $19.5 million over three years, including $12 million in guarantees.

Eagles' T.J. Edwards: Leads team in tackles
Rotowire
Edwards finished the regular season with 159 tackles, including 99 solo tackles, and a pair of sacks.
Edwards' tackle total led his team and tied him for seventh in the league. He improved on an already strong 2021 campaign in which he tied for 15th in the league with 130 tackles. Edwards will be a free agent after the season, and the Eagles would presumably love to have him back, though his strong back-to-back seasons mean he could be due for a big raise.

Edwards once again finished as the Eagles' leading tackler while also posting double-digit stops for the eighth time this season.

Eagles' T.J. Edwards: Nine tackles Week 15
Rotowire
Edwards recorded nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Bears.
Edwards logged more than seven tackles for the first time in four weeks, as he wound up playing nearly every defensive snap in this unexpectedly narrow win. Edwards is still far and away the Eagles' leading tackler this season with 124, and he is now seven stops shy of setting a new career high in this category. Edwards should have a very good chance to do just this while facing the Cowboy's prolific rushing offense Week 16.

Eagles' T.J. Edwards: Moderate outing in blowout win
Rotowire
Edwards tallied six tackles (two solo), including a tackle for loss, and one pass defended during Sunday's 48-22 win against the Giants.
Edwards wound up playing a season-low 75 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps, as the team went up 41-14 midway through the fourth quarter. The linebacker has now logged exactly six tackles during back-to-back blowout wins. Edwards played almost every defensive snap over the first 11 contests of the season, but it's possible he could see decreased playing time if the Eagles roll out to another easy win against Chicago in Week 15.

Rotowire
Edwards recorded 12 tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-22 defeat versus the Commanders.
Edwards notched his fifth double-digit tackle performance of the season.

Edwards now has 86 tackles (53 solo), two sacks and five passes defended over nine games this season and, barring injury, should easily log the most productive campaign of his career.

Rotowire
Edwards recorded six tackles (four solo) and one sack during the Eagles' 29-21 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Edwards notched a team-high six tackles and his second sack of the season, as Philadelphia's defense held Jacksonville to just 219 total yards over 46 offensive plays. Therefore, the starting middle linebacker played a season-low 44 defensive snaps, and he should see increased production in Week 5 against the Cardinals offense, which has averaged 56 plays per game so far in 2022.

Edwards had seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Lions.
The Eagles were gashed for 181 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, but Edwards made some key tackles to help stem the bleeding just enough for Philadelphia's offense to pick up the slack. Edwards had 130 tackles last season, so the middle linebacker should produce plenty of similar outings this season if he can stay healthy.

Rotowire
Edwards (forearm) is fully recovered from his forearm injury suffered in the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Edwards played a significant role on the Eagles' defense beginning in Week 9 last season, where he played at least 88 percent of the defensive snaps from that point on. Although Edwards is not expected to keep that prominent of a role, he should still be a main fixture of the Eagles' defense in 2022.

Rotowire
Edwards racked up seven tackles and one pass deflection during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.
After totaling 27 tackles over his two previous contests, Edwards' seven-tackle performance left fantasy managers wanting more. However, as long as the 25-year-old remains the starting middle linebacker for the Eagles, he will likely remain a high-floor option in IDP leagues.
