Matt Zenitz from CBS Sports just dropped the report: Marcus Davenport is reportedly heading to the Chicago Bears. After visiting the club on Sunday, it looks like this 29-year-old edge rusher is sticking around the NFC North.
The NFC North’s Most Frequent Flier
Davenport’s professional journey has been quite the tour through the league, especially within the NFC North. Drafted 14th overall back in 2018, he kicked off his career with five seasons in New Orleans. Then, he bounced to Minnesota for the 2023 season. After that, he spent the last two seasons, 2024 and 2025, over in Detroit. Now, the Bears are bringing him into their locker room. That’s a lot of divisional rivals getting a look at the guy!
The Injury Report That Never Ends
Look, you gotta talk about the elephant in the room with Davenport: his recent injury history and production. In 2025, he only managed one sack and three QB hits across eight games, seven of which were starts for Detroit. A chest injury kept him sidelined for much of that season. And it wasn’t just 2025, either; he suffered a year-ending triceps injury in 2024. While his career totals of 25.0 sacks, 28 tackles for loss, and 71 QB hits show he’s got talent, the recent output has been a struggle. The Bears are banking on a big rebound from a guy who’s had some tough luck lately.
Speaking of tough outings, our own Seattle Seahawks just wrapped up a rough one. Mike Macdonald’s squad fell 17-7 to the Dallas Cowboys. It’s early in the season, but that score stings, especially at home. We need Sam Darnold to find some rhythm with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Let’s see how they respond in the next game, 12s, because we’re ready for a bounce-back win.
