It is no secret that the Chicago Bears are going to have to address their safety room this off-season. After an All-Pro and Pro Bowl nod in 2025, Kevin Byard is set to become a free agent. At 32 years old, there is a good chance that his next NFL contract will be his last. Whether he wants to remain with the Bears is yet to be seen.
Jaquan Brisker, on the other hand, is hitting free agency for the first time in his NFL career. Wherever his next contract takes him, it will likely be a significant raise from what he made on his Bears rookie deal.
What is more, there has not been much talk of Chicago being willing to retain him anyway. Some of this has to do with the Bears’ salary cap situation.
But there will be plenty of teams interested in Brisker, including the Dallas Cowboys.
Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker predicted to sign with the Dallas Cowboys
In a recent article in which USA Today‘s Christian D’Andrea predicted where 32 of the NFL’s top free agents will end up, he linked Brisker to Dallas:
“Dallas has one of the worst cap situations in 2026, which may disqualify Jerry Jones from many of the spring’s top free agents. Fortunately, there’s a lot of space that can be freed up by restructuring and extending star players the Cowboys want to keep around.
“That could liberate them to bolster the secondary with Brisker, who can handle several roles in the defensive backfield and may come at a reasonable price after four good, rarely great seasons in Chicago.”
Spotrac has Brisker’s market value has three years and $33.3 million, which seems to be the kind of contract that the cap-strapped Cowboys could make work.
Christian Parker, the new defensive coordinator in Dallas, may even be able to help Brisker improve in his weakest coverage areas. Parker, after all, is a defensive back guru who has helped many young secondary players find success in the NFL.
