Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson Antwaan Randle El When Johnson brought him from Detroit as a wide receiver and assistant head coach.
Randle El won a Super Bowl with Pittsburgh Steelers and also played for Washington, but the southern suburbs are known by many people in these regions as a three -sports star in Thornton Township high school.
He played basketball and baseball in the canton of Thornton in addition to football.
Working for the Bears and being closer to the family is a dream come true for Randle El.
“I see my parents twice a week. It was really good. I try to see them more, but it’s an hour and 20 minutes, whatever it is absent, and with work, it’s difficult,” said Randle El. “It will be even more difficult when my wife and my children arrive here, because the children had matches.”
We asked Randle EL if his parents could lead to him.
“They can lead to me, you know, to the games. But we are going to have things at home as we have always done, you know, but I have to be careful, because I have cousins, and it will be 6 am, they will just knock on the door,” he said. “I still love them in the same way.”
Meanwhile, the Bears will be on the chronometer a week from Thursday with the 10th choice of the first round of the NFL draft. In the middle of the preparation, the managing director Ryan Pola took care of a local child with a new contract.
Ink is dry on a two -year contract extension for Lake Villa TJ Edwards. The secondary is now signed during the 2027 season for $ 20 million.
Before the 2023 season, the Bears signed Edwards to a $ 19.5 million contract over three years and liked what they have seen in the past two seasons. He entered the last year of the agreement and had to make a basic salary of $ 5.4 million in 2025.
The former Wisconsin badger has started each match in the past two seasons, combining 284 plated in total, including 170 solo, 14 shots of a quarter, 10 defended passes, 6.5 bags and four interceptions. The 28 -year -old finished last season with 129 plated in total, including 79 solo, as well as six strokes of a quarter, a high career bags, two escaped escaped and a forced escape.
Edwards is 29 years old in August.
Earlier this week, the Bears also signed the corner Kyler Gordon an extension of $ 40 million over three years.
The posts had identified a new agreement for Gordon as an absolute priority for the team during the off -season, shortly after the new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen specifically highlighted the role of Gordon.
“I think it’s obviously stress on the plate, and you know, it just allowed me to focus more on the task to be accomplished than we have for the season; really allowed me to meet the coaches, get into the game book and focus on this,” Gordon said on Tuesday. “That’s all that really cares at me right now.”
