Getting a player who can be, as Poles described, disruptive as Odeyingbo is, that will allow defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to put him in different positions to maximize his success. Although he's mainly slotted at defensive end, Poles said they will play Odeyingbo in different spots on the line when the timing is right.

Here's a collection of grades for the Bears' expected signing of Dayo Odeyingbo, where experts are mostly positive about the addition.

The Colts entered free agency ranked 20th in available salary cap space and with a number of positions to address. While one can reason why adding to defensive end could make sense, it is far from a top priority with Laiatu Latu, Kwity Paye, and Samson Ebukam all under contract yet.
