The took the first big swing of , sending a second-round pick to the Washington Commanders for defensive end Why they made the move Sweat is playing out the final year of his contract, and the already have a strong — and highly-paid — defensive line. Trying to sign him to a big-money deal this offseason would have stressed their salary cap dynamics.
There are valid cases for both sides. It’s fair to think the Bears did great. They need good football players, and Sweat plays a premium position. Now, they’ve got exclusive negotiating rights and the ability to use the franchise tag if contract talks don’t go as they hope. If you want quality pass rushers, you’ve got to pay a quality price. Sure, you could argue the Bears could have just paid Sweat in free agency.
