The Bears and Edmunds agreed Monday to a four-year, $72 contract that includes $50 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Chicago has now agreed to terms with T.J. Edwards and Edmunds ahead of the new league year, forming one of the better linebacker duos in the NFL. Edmunds, a 2018 first-round pick, recorded at least 100 tackles in each of his five seasons with the Bills and will be a top IDP option again in 2023.

Rotowire
Edmunds recorded six tackles (five solo) during Thursday's 24-10 win over the Patriots.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Still not practicing Tuesday
Rotowire
Edmunds (groin) did not participate at practice Tuesday ahead of Thursday's game at Detroit.
There appears to be a real possibility that Edmunds will need to sit out another game with the same groin injury that kept him sidelined for Sunday's win at Ford Field. If the two-time Pro Bowler indeed can't go, Tyrel Dodson would probably be in line for the fill-in reps again.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Sits out walkthrough Monday
Rotowire
Edmunds (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Edmunds sustained a groin injury Week 10 against the Vikings, and he was then ruled inactive after failing to practice ahead of Sunday's win over the Browns. While the 24-year-old remained sidelined during Monday's walkthrough, he will still have two more practices to increase his activity before a road matchup against Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. If Edmunds remains sidelined Tuesday and Wednesday, then Tyrel Dodson could be in line to play an every-down role for the second straight contest.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Absent once again
Rotowire

Edmunds logged a second straight DNP as he works to recover from the injury he suffered in the Week 10 loss to the Vikings. The 24-year-old will likely need to practice in some fashion Friday to increase his odds of suiting up Sunday against the Browns.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Questionable to return Sunday
Rotowire
Edmunds (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Edmunds, who entered Sunday's contest versus Minnesota with a questionable hashtag next to his name due to groin and heel issues, is now considered questionable to re-enter Sunday's matchup, per Chris Brown of the Bills' official site. Tyrel Dodson has since replaced the 24-year-old linebacker.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Edmunds (groin/heel) was a limited participant in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Edmunds returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday with separate groin and heel injuries. The starting middle linebacker has played a massive role for Buffalo this season, recording 62 tackles, one sack and two passes defended over seven games, so his potential absence would be a big hit for the team's defense. If Edmunds is either sidelined or limited against Minnesota, expect Tyrel Dodson to take on a larger role alongside Matt Milano.

Edmunds notched seven tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 31-14 win over the Panthers.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Busy vs. Buccaneers
Rotowire
Edmunds racked up 12 tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup during Sunday's 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
Edmunds logged his second game of the season with double-digit stops, bringing his tackle total through 11 contests to 82 (49 solo). The standout middle linebacker continues to handle an every-down role in Buffalo's defense, and Week 15 he will get a chance to feast against Carolina's moribund offense led by Cam Newton, who has failed to log a single 200-yard passing game since reuniting with the franchise that drafted him.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Co-leads in tackles Thursday
Rotowire
Edmunds posted eight total tackles in Thursday's 31-6 win over the Saints.
The middle linebacker returned from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury and looked like he hadn't missed a beat, as he was around the play all day as the Saints futilely tried to run the ball to the tune of 44 net rushing yards. Edmunds will be counted on even more to lead a top-notch defense that just lost its most valuable defender, as start corner Tre'Davious White suffered a season-ending knee injury in the win.

Bills' Tremaine Edmunds: Return looking good
Rotowire
Edmunds (hamstring) is expected to practice fully Tuesday ahead of a Thanksgiving game against the Saints, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

It seems likely that Edmunds will return for the important prime time game, though his work Tuesday and Wednesday will determine whether he gets an injury designation heading into the contest.
