A low-risk practice squad addition with minimal immediate impact for Chicago. Multiple headlines confirm Martin is a roster-depth move, not a significant signing. The strongest signal is his journeyman status, cycling through Saints and Commanders without sticking. Fans will barely notice this move amid a flurry of similar depth signings post-2025 season. Martin projects as a camp body unless injuries force him onto the active roster.

This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the Chicago Bears — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Jeremiah's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL DLs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $4.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the DL market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Jeremiah is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $9.0M deal ($4.5M guaranteed, 50%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
