The Bears who are led by CGM Zack were looking to reload for what was already a high caliber offense, and solid playoff team in season 49. After a dissapointing upset to the Packers despite shutting them out 2-0 in the regular season; Zack decided it was time for a reload. This signing definitely supports Zack's statement! Ekeler agreed to a 3-Year contract deal worth up to $41.7 Million, which included a $17.7 Million signing bonus as well!
