Bears Target Elite DL to Fix Defense | Chicago Bears News

The Chicago Bears’ defense is in dire need of upgrades, especially on the line—where they ranked near the bottom in sacks and run defense last season. While they added Neville Gallimore to the interior, he didn’t make much impact, leaving edge rusher a glaring weakness. Big names like Vita Vea (a Pro Bowl talent seeking a trade) and Christian Wilkins (with Raiders complications) could fill the interior void, while veteran DaQuan Jones offers reliable depth. On the edge, Maxx Crosby—five-time Pro Bowler, likely demanding two first-rounders—is the top target, with Josh Sweat (unhappy in Arizona) as a strong alternative. Other free agents like Von Miller and Jadeveon Clowney also remain viable options. The Bears must act decisively: either pursue a blockbuster trade or find value in free agency, because fixing their defensive line is non-negotiable for future success.
