Chicago Bears are parting ways with starting linebacker

The Chicago Bears are set to lose another starter from the 2024 defense this offseason. The Bears pulled a surprise in February when they released defensive end DeMarcus Walker, essentially making the defensive end a cap casualty before free agency.
On Tuesday, the Bears made a few big decisions. Chicago used the pick they received from the Pittsburgh Steelers for Justin Fields on Pro Bowl offensive lineman Jonah Jackson. By the afternoon, they decided on linebacker Jack Sanborn.

Per ESPN‘s Jeremy Fowler, the Bears are choosing not to tender Sanborn, allowing him to go to free agency.
“The Bears are not tendering RFA linebacker Jack Sanborn, per source,” Fowler posted on X. “Their starting Sam linebacker the past two seasons also has seven starts as an MLB, when he had 71 tackles (six for loss) and three QB hurries. He’s now set to hit free agency.”

At 24, Sanborn had been with the Bears since they signed him as an undrafted free agent from Wisconsin in 2022. He appeared in 48 games and started in 19 for Chicago. The six-foot-two, 234-pound off-the-ball linebacker recorded 164 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks in his three seasons.
Pro Football Focus gave Sanborn a 63.1 overall grade for his play in 2024.
