"It's exciting for us to get (Taylor)," Bears
coach Matt Eberflus said on 670 The Score in Chicago. "He's got
sack production, a really good pass rusher. He fits our scheme
in terms of his effort, his style, his disposition."
Taylor, 27, recorded 5.5 sacks and 28 tackles in 17 games (five
starts) last season.
He has totaled 21.5 sacks, 91 tackles and five forced fumbles in
49 career games (13 starts) since being selected by the Seahawks
in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He did not play in
his rookie season due to an offseason surgery on a leg injury he
sustained in college at Tennessee.
Also on Friday, the Seahawks signed undrafted rookie cornerback
Willie Roberts out of Louisiana Tech.
Roberts participated in Seattle's rookie minicamp after
recording 38 tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and a
fumble recovery in 12 games (all starts) last season.
