The Bears needed pass rush help, and this player will cost them.
According to reports, Pernell McPhee, who emerged as a very good situational pass rusher last season in Baltimore, will get a new deal to play in Chicago. The Baltimore Sun reports that it’s a five-year contract worth nearly $40 million, including nearly $16 million guaranteed.
The 26-year-old McPhee had 7.5 sacks last year while playing mostly in passing situations. For $8 million a seasons, he’ll need to play everydown.
