He would discuss what the Bears could be doing on the defensive side of the ball. Below is what he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The\u00a0Chicago Bears\u00a0freed up around $17 million in cap space with the\u00a0D.J. Moore\u00a0trade, which they will need in free agency to aid the defense. Yes, they could use pass-rush help. But I don&#8217;t sense Chicago is desperate for a splashy pass rusher. Much will depend on price. Interior rush help could be the way to go. To replace\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-bears-officially-release-tremaine-edmunds-ahead-of-2026-league-season\/\">Tremaine Edmunds<\/a>,\u00a0Alex Anzalone\u00a0is a name to watch. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen was with him in New Orleans and he&#8217;s good in coverage. At safety, my sense is the Bears will attempt to re-sign\u00a0Kevin Byard III\u00a0over the weekend but will let\u00a0Jaquan Brisker walk.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The third-round pick in the 2017 draft has been with the Detroit Lions for the previous five seasons, meaning he is comfortable in the NFC North. Anzalone played in 16 games last season and recorded 95 total tackles (52 solo, 43 assisted) with four tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, six quarterback hits, nine pass deflections, and an interception.<\/p>\n<p>With the Bears linked to an outside linebacker, it will be intriguing to see if this is the big splash they want to make or if there are other names that will be joining Chicago for the 2026 season. Fowler did not mention a projected contract, so that will also be a major factor in whether this will actually happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Bears are prepared to be aggressive during the legal tampering period of the 2026 NFL offseason.
