Brad Holmes' Worst Signing Lands With Bears: Why Lions Moved On

Marcus Davenport is headed to the Bears after the Lions’ offseason decision to move on. A former Saints, Vikings and Lions defensive end visited Chicago and reportedly agreed to sign with Detroit’s NFC North rival. In his brief first year in Motown, Davenport played only two games before a torn triceps ended his season against the Arizona Cardinals. Detroit then re-signed him to a one-year contract for 2025 despite concerns over his injury history. He managed 14 tackles and one sack in eight games the following season. After a chest injury in Week 2 vs. Chicago, he spent time on injured reserve until November.
