What the Bears are getting in new DE Al-Quadin Muhammad

The Chicago Bears found a new defensive end in Al-Quadin Muhammad, who signed a two-year deal worth $10 million. Muhammad fills a need at edge rusher following the Khalil Mack trade.

Muhammad, a sixth-round pick by the Saints in 2017, is coming off a breakout season with the Indianapolis Colts, where he set career highs in tackles (48), sacks (6) and QB hits (13) with 17 starts.

Despite Mack’s departure, the Bears still have some playmakers coming off the edge, starting with Robert Quinn and Trevis Gipson. Muhammad joins that group, where he comes into a situation with his former Colts defensive coordinator and Bears head coach Matt Eberflus.

We spoke to Kevin Hickey of Colts Wire, who gave us the rundown on what we can expect from the Bears’ new defensive end and why he’s a good fit for Chicago.
