One of the Chicago Bears’ biggest free agents on the market just got a well-deserved pay day.
Former undrafted free agent defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris is bidding the Bears farewell as he joins the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robertson-Harris established himself as a key rotational player with Chicago over the last four years, where he played his way into a big pay day.
With limited cap space and an already-stacked defensive line, it was expected for Robertson-Harris to sign elsewhere.
Robertson-Harris has agreed to a three-year deal worth $24.4 million, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, where he’ll get $14 million in guarantees.

Robertson-Harris is a candidate to earn the Bears a 2022 compensatory pick depending on his playing time and impact in Jacksonville.
