Bears to sign former Colts defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad

Matt Eberflus is bringing even more of his Colts defense to the Bears.

The team is signing former Indianapolis defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad. Muhammad, who turns 27 next week, had six sacks and started all 17 games last year under Eberflus, who was his Colts defensive coordinator from 2018-21.

He spent 2017 with the Saints, who drafted him in the sixth round. He started 25 games in four years with the Colts.

The Miami alum brings experience in Eberflus’ 4-3 scheme. The new Bears head coach brought more than half his defensive staff with him: defensive coordinator Alan Williams, linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi, defensive backs coach James Rowe and assistant defensive backs coach David Overstreet.

Muhammad joins a defensive ends room that includes Robert Quinn, who set the Bears’ single-season record with 18 ¹⁄₂ sacks last year, and Trevis Gipson, who had seven sacks in 16 games.

ESPN reported he’ll get $10 million over two years.
