STM Take
Two Pro Bowls plus 2022 tier 1 (#1) STTM peak plus the $72M Bears contract puts Edmunds in the high-pedigree class with structural volatility. The Virginia Tech 16th overall draft slot plus the youngest-drafted-LB pedigree gives him real career foundation. The 2026 question is whether Edmunds returns to tier 2 territory with the Bears or whether the structural tier 5 finish becomes the stable late-prime baseline.
Edmunds came out of Virginia Tech as the Buffalo Bills' 1st-round pick (16th overall) in 2018 as the youngest player drafted that year (19 years old). He made two Pro Bowls (2019, 2020) with the Bills before signing a four-year, $72M deal with the Chicago Bears in 2023. His STTM career runs tier 5 (#40) in 2021, tier 1 (#1) peak in 2022, tier 8 (#78) in 2023, tier 3 (#20) in 2024, and tier 5 (#36) in 2025.
Strengths
- Two Pro Bowls (2019, 2020) plus 2022 tier 1 (#1) STTM peak plus the 16th overall draft slot establishes elite LB career résumé.
- Virginia Tech ACC pedigree plus eight years of NFL starter reps gives him real veteran market value.
Concerns
- Career STTM volatility (tier 1 in 2022, tier 8 in 2023, tier 3 in 2024, tier 5 in 2025) confirms the ceiling is highly team-fit and scheme dependent.
- $72M Bears contract creates major contract-value risk if the tier 5 finish becomes the stable baseline.
What to watch: Whether Edmunds returns to tier 3 (top 25) in 2026 with the Bears, the threshold for closing the gap between contract and STTM ranking.
