Darrell Taylor

Bears acquired LB Darrell Taylor from the Seahawks for a 2025 sixth-round pick.

Taylor was a second-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2020. Playing primarily as a pass rusher, Taylor has amassed 21.5 sacks in 49 career games and tallied 5.5 sacks last season. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, who was first to report the deal, the Bears were in on a trade for Matthew Judon before he went to the Falcons, leaving the Bears to pivot to Taylor to bolster their defense. Taylor has one year left on his deal and could play his way into a nice contract next offseason with a strong showing in Chicago.
