The Bears trailed only the Denver Broncos as the NFL's biggest spenders Monday.

General manager Ryan Poles' most expensive contract was doled out to linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who signed a four-year, $72 million deal. He now owns the richest four-year contract of any off-ball linebacker in the NFL.
Guard Nate Davis was signed to a three-year, $30 million contract, while TJ Edwards, another linebacker, inked a three-year, $19.5 million deal. The Bears signed defensive end Demarcus Walker to a three-year, $21 million deal late Monday night.
The Chicago Bears still have salary-cap flexibility to add another big-ticket free agent. Perhaps one of the offensive tackles who remain unsigned -- Orlando Brown Jr. and Kaleb McGary -- will be Poles' big get on Day 2.
