The Chicago Bears have shown the ability to be a force, but still need to improve their roster. They have some additions on the roster, but they are strapped for cash with just $243,078 available cap space this season. There are ways to change the roster and make the money work. Let’s take a look at who one outlet believes the Bears should sign to bolster their team before the NFL Draft.
The Chicago Bears could sign Von Miller as a free agent
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport wrote an article where he discussed one free agent each team can still sign. For the Bears, he selected edge rusher Von Miller. Below is what he wrote:
“The Chicago Bears were reportedly one of the teams who expressed interest in trading for Maxx Crosby after a 2025 season where the NFC North champions logged just 35 sacks as a team. However, that deal didn’t come to fruition, and the Bears don’t pick nearly high enough in Round 1 for this year’s top pass-rush prospects to be viable targets in the draft. That leaves free agency-and with the Bears tighter against the salary cap than any team in the NFL, Chicago needs to comb through the bargain bin to add a veteran.
“Von Miller may no longer be the player who went to eight Pro Bowls over his first nine seasons and was named the MVP of Super Bowl 50. Miller also just celebrated his 37th birthday. But last year in Washington, Miller had nine sacks in just 420 snaps, and he is likely looking to land with a team with a legitimate shot at a long postseason run.”
Miller would be an excellent addition, but general manager Ryan Poles would need to make some moves to free up enough cap space. With some young players on defense, it would be a chance for Miller to be a veteran leader and showcase his abilities. It would be intriguing to see if he would sign with Chicago.
