Chicago Bears’ defense was one of the biggest weaknesses of last season.
Their second was steadily maintained throughout the year, but Pass Rush lacked talent and lacked talent. Mainly depends on the Veterans Montez Sweat and Gervon Dexter SR. Bears is likely to be aggressively aiming for an aggressive lineman or ranking 10th in the 2025 NFL draft.
Chicago’s front office finds a free agency to pursue a veteran Super Bowl champion.
The bear expected to sign the phone Miller
Von Miller signed a $ 120 million contract for six years before the buffalo bill broke up. Buffalo faces a significant cap crunch so that Miller can sign up elsewhere, increasing the flexibility of adding new talents.
BLEACHER REPORT MOE MOTON At first, Buffalo predicted that he would deal with a bear with a bear. Before the news of his release. Now, PFSN’s 16th Edge Russian was able to land as a free agent in Chicago.
“At age 35, von Miller is no longer all down pass ruthers. He teared ACL at the end of the first year with Buffalo Bills in 2022 and jumped less than 34 % of the defensive snaps in 2023 and 2024. ” “But a team with a hat space like Chicago Bears can be willing to take over the veteran for 14 years.”
According to PFSN’s defense+ metrics, Bears Defense ranked 13th in the NFL last season. Miller is not the same as the same player as Denver Broncos, but even a limited role can raise Chicago’s defense to the top 10.
Buffalo’s defense, meanwhile, ranked 18th according to PFSN’s indicators. If the bill does not sign Miller again, it must be strengthened to maintain its competitiveness with the team with the same teams such as Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.
“Bears can mix and match the Montes sweat on the edge and a young passer. In Chicago, Miller will reunite with Dennis Allen, the first defensive coordinator in the NFL, ”MOTON added.
Miller finished 2024 seasons with six sacks in 13 games. It may not be an elite stat line, but in the right situation he can still be appropriate in Chicago. In addition to his field production, his leadership and the presence of veterans can be very important in Bears’ locker rooms.
Other options for the end of defense
Given that this is a free agent class packaged in the edge position, there is another option for Chicago to explore. Miller has a name and praise, but he is on his career backend, and he can find himself in Buffalo before everything is said and ended. If Miller doesn’t end in a windy city, let’s look at other options.
Kalil Mac
Can a reunion be in the work?
Khalil Mack can fit better, but half -popular price tags are provided than 36 -year -old Miller brought.
But the Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated is tied up. Mac and bear together. Mack is two years younger than Miller. However, he entered after registering six sacks and two forced dumblers with last season chargers.
Haason Reddick
Haason Reddick was a controversial topic since it was traded with a jet in 2024.
In the end, Reddick was suitable for 10 games with a bullet to become a free agent this season.
Prior to 2024, he combines 27 sacks, 24 tackles and 87 tackles in 2022 and 2023.
The season with the jet may have ruined the value of the Reddick, so folding him can reinforce his career and increase the defense of the bears.
Josh sweat
JOSH SWEAT will receive money after an amazing season with Super Bowl Champion Eagles.
He may not be in the radar of Chicago, but sweat will be perfect for the bear to desperately improve defense.
MALCOLM KOONCE
Last season’s Malcolm Koonce developed into a legitimate pass rush.
In his fourth season, Koonce can go well with RAIDERS, which fits the mold that Pete Carroll is looking for. But if a bear wants to make a waves, using Koonce can make the best playmaker paying dividends.
Last season, Koonce registered eight sacks and nine tackles and had three forced tombs. It looks like a game made in the sky for organizations that are desperate for changing their identity.
Baron Browning
Browning can be a cheaper but effective signature for those who sign him.
He spent three and a half years in Denver before he was traded in the middle of Arizona in 2024. He registered 11.5 bags for a total of four years of experience and last season, he had four tackles.
