A low-risk depth flier addressing Chicago's glaring edge-rushing need. Multiple outlets covered the signing, noting Bears' bye-week urgency to find pass-rush help. Garvin's Packers pedigree is intriguing, but he never cracked a meaningful roster role. Fans responding positively, relieved Bears acted, though expectations remain appropriately modest. Garvin projects as a rotational reserve who must outperform expectations just to stick on the 53-man roster.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Chicago Bears — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jonathan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DLs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DL market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Jonathan is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
