00:00The Chicago Bears are ready to make a splash in the 2025 offseason with plenty of cap space and
00:05the 10th overall pick in the draft. Under GM Ryan Poles, the Bears have the resources to add key
00:11players who can elevate this team. With free agency just around the corner, we're watching
00:15the NFL Divisional Round closely. There are several soon-to-be free agents who could fill
00:20the Bears' most pressing needs, offensive line, edge rusher, and safety. Let's dive into four
00:26players whose performances this weekend could determine their future in Chicago.
00:33We start with one of the most exciting edge rushers in the game today. His name is Josh
00:39Sweat, and he's a player Bears fans should be all over during this offseason. Now, I know
00:44we already have Montez Sweat, and he's been impressive, but adding another pass rusher
00:49alongside him could completely change the dynamics of this defense. Josh Sweat has been a force for
00:56the Philadelphia Eagles. He's fast, strong, and relentless. Sweat has that perfect combination
01:02of speed and power that allows him to beat tackles and pressure quarterbacks consistently.
01:07And let's be honest, the Bears' pass rush hasn't been as dominant as it should be.
01:12Even with Montez Sweat in the mix, they need more. If they can add another edge rusher like
01:17Josh Sweat, we could see a major shift in how the Bears defend the pass. In the 2025 offseason,
01:23if the Eagles don't manage to lock him up, the Bears should absolutely be making a play for him.
01:30You can just imagine a defensive line with Montez Sweat and Josh Sweat coming at you.
01:36Quarterbacks would be on their toes all game long. This could be one of the most exciting moves of
01:42the offseason for Chicago. So, when you're watching the Eagles in the divisional round,
01:48pay close attention to Sweat. Watch how he moves, how he gets after the quarterback.
01:54If he's continuing to play at this high level, he's going to be one of the top free agents on
02:00the market, and the Bears need to be in the conversation. They need to strengthen that
02:05pass rush, and Josh Sweat could be just the guy to do it. Let's talk about another position of
02:11need for the Bears, the offensive line. Now, I know you all have been watching Braxton Jones
02:16on the left side and Darnell Wright on the right. They've had their ups and downs, and while Darnell
02:22Wright has shown promise, we can't ignore the struggles on the left side of the line. The
02:26Bears need to improve their offensive line to protect the quarterback, especially with a
02:31potential future star like Caleb Williams under center. Enter Trey Smith, the Kansas City Chiefs
02:37offensive guard. Smith has been one of the standout performers on a team that has one of the
02:42best offensive lines in the NFL. Trey Smith is a big, powerful, and physical presence on the
02:48interior, and he's been the anchor that has helped protect Patrick Mahomes for years. His ability to
02:54create running lanes and keep the pocket clean for Mahomes is something that should be highly
02:58valued by the Bears. For the Bears, upgrading the interior offensive line is crucial. If they can
03:04add someone like Smith, it'll help solidify the protection for the quarterback, whether that's
03:09Caleb Williams or another potential starter. Smith is a durable, strong player who can come in and
03:15make an immediate impact. If the Chiefs can't keep him, Trey Smith could be one of the top targets for
03:21the Bears in free agency. The Bears are in a great position to go after him with their cap space,
03:25and adding him could instantly improve their offensive line. Pay attention to how the Chiefs
03:30perform in the divisional round, especially their ability to run the ball and protect Mahomes. If
03:36Smith is playing like the dominant guard he is known to be, the Bears should make sure they're
03:40in the mix for his services. Next, we've got another interior offensive lineman, but this
03:46one's a little older. Kevin Zeitler, the veteran guard from the Baltimore Ravens. Now, Zeitler is
03:5335 years old, but don't let that fool you. He's still playing at a very high level. Zeitler is one
04:00of the most reliable guards in the league, and even though he's nearing the end of his career,
04:04he still has plenty of gas left in the tank. Why should the Bears be interested in Kevin Zeitler?
04:11Well, it's simple. They need help on the interior, and Zeitler is a proven, consistent force. He's
04:18been a big part of the Ravens' strong offensive line for several years, and he's known for his
04:22ability to protect the passer and open up running lanes. The Bears need someone like him to help
04:27provide stability in the middle of their offensive line. Adding a veteran like Zeitler would be a
04:35short-term but very effective solution for the Bears. He could come in, add experience to the
04:40line, and help teach the younger guys how to succeed in the NFL. His leadership would be
04:46invaluable as the Bears continue to develop their offensive line, and with Zeitler's ability to step
04:51up and play at a high level, he could be a solid bridge to help the Bears get through this season
04:57while they continue to develop their younger players. So when the Ravens take the field in the
05:04divisional round, keep an eye on Zeitler. Watch his ability to dominate at the point of attack, and if
05:09he continues to play like he has been, the Bears should be first in line to offer him a contract.
05:15His experience and skills would be a huge boost to Chicago's offensive line.
05:20Finally, let's talk about a position that the Bears need to improve. Safety. The safety position has
05:27been a bit of a revolving door for the Bears, with Jaquan Brisker showing promise but still
05:32needing some help. Adding depth and competition at safety could be the key to shoring up this defense.
05:40Jeremy Chin is the safety you want to keep an eye on. He plays for the Carolina Panthers, and he's
05:45been one of the most versatile players on their defense. Chin is a player who can do it all. He
05:51can play in the box, cover tight ends, and even help in coverage deep down the field. He's fast,
05:56athletic, and plays with a chip on his shoulder. For the Bears, adding Chin would provide them with
06:03a strong playmaker in the secondary. He can come in and immediately compete for a starting role
06:09and help improve the overall playmaking ability of the defense. Whether it's covering the middle
06:13of the field or making a big hit in the run game, Chin has the skills to make a difference for the
06:19Bears. As the Panthers head into the divisional round, pay attention to how Chin performs. He's
06:24had a solid season, but this is where you want to see him take it to the next level. If he's playing
06:29like the versatile weapon he's known to be, the Bears should definitely consider making him one of
06:33their top free agent target.
