HUGE NEWS as Maxx Crosby To The Bears HEATS UP After Latest Albert Breer Report + LB Linked & More
The Chicago Bears offseason just hit high gear! We are tracking a developing situation that could change the landscape of the NFC North for years to come. According to a brand new report from Albert Breer, Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby is “likely to be traded” as early as this week, and the Chicago Bears are officially “keeping tabs” on the situation.
In today’s video, we are diving deep into the trade rumors, the potential replacement for Tremaine Edmunds, and the massive news regarding the Bears’ official grade from the NFLPA.
1. THE MAXX CROSBY “BOMBSHELL” REPORT
Is “Mad Maxx” coming to the Midway? Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated has just dropped a massive update regarding the Raiders’ defensive end. Breer notes that while the Raiders have been hesitant in the past, a trade involving Crosby is now the “most likely scenario” and could happen before the new league year begins.
Breer specifically mentioned the Chicago Bears as one of the teams actively monitoring the situation. Pairing Maxx Crosby with Montez Sweat would give the Bears the most terrifying pass-rush duo in the NFL. We break down what it would take for Ryan Poles to pull the trigger on this blockbuster, including the draft capital and the potential of moving a player like DJ Moore in a package deal. Is a 1st-round pick and a veteran star enough to land a generational pass rusher?
2. BOBBY OKEREKE: THE TREMAINE EDMUNDS CONTINGENCY
While the Crosby news dominates the headlines, the Bears are also making moves behind the scenes at linebacker. If Ryan Poles decides to trade Tremaine Edmunds to clear cap space for a superstar addition, a perfect replacement has just emerged.
Reports indicate that the New York Giants are planning to release veteran linebacker Bobby Okereke in a cost-saving move within the next few days. Okereke is a tackling machine who has averaged over 140 stops per season and would fit perfectly into this defensive scheme. By cutting Okereke, the Giants save $9 million, but for the Bears, this is a “gift” from the market. We discuss why signing Okereke would allow Chicago to maintain an elite defense while gaining the financial flexibility to land Maxx Crosby.
3. NFLPA REPORT CARD: THE BEARS ARE A TOP DESTINATION
The NFL Players Association has officially released the 2026 Team Report Cards, and the Chicago Bears have received some of the highest marks in the league! This is a massive shift from years past and proves that the Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles era has completely transformed the culture at Halas Hall.
The Bears ranked 13th overall in the NFL, with standout grades in:
Head Coach (Ben Johnson): A (A huge leap from the previous regime)
General Manager (Ryan Poles): A- (8th in the NFL)
Weight Room: A (6th in the NFL)
Locker Room: A- (100% of players say the size is adequate)
Training Staff: B+ (11th in the NFL)
These grades are vital because they tell every free agent in the league that Chicago is a first-class organization. When you combine an “A” graded head coach with an “A-” graded facility, you become a destination for superstars like Maxx Crosby and Bobby Okereke.
BEARS NATION, WE NEED YOUR VOTE! 🗳️
Would you give up a 1st Round Pick and DJ Moore to land Maxx Crosby?
Should the Bears move off Tremaine Edmunds to sign Bobby Okereke for cheaper?
How much do the “A” grades from the NFLPA help Ryan Poles in Free Agency?

waaaay too much for an aging Crosby.
Let's make sure we get our pass rushers and run stoppers in the draft we would have to give up too much to get Maxx Crosby
Get Crosby restructure Montez and Swift contract
I dont like giving up 2 top players AND A PICK for 1 old dude with injury issues and still have to pay him. Rather find and draft our own edge. Just makes better sense for the cap and get a fresh talent with no injury history.
These trades you cook up for Crosby are just thirsty and giving up too much.
Bears will not acquire Crosby in a trade that doesn't includea 1st round pick. I'd do your trade in a second but Raiders would never go for it.
Wow.. you’re still pushing this Mad Maxx click bait.. the Likes must be down.
leave D.J. out of this. report card very funny. the team ownership has been a joke, maybe good people but terrible at football, just check the records. you have to be very bad to be as bad as the Bears in my 70 years of fandom.
I hate to see them go to the Losing Raiders . I have to much respect for them . But …….. like it or not it is a business and the goal is Super Bowl.
Brody, are you finally out of corporate America? If so, congrats and Bear da Fcuk DOWN!!!!
Yes definitely
Yes that's a good deal
Stop with click bait shit its not happening people stop talking about it
Bears fans are so fckin slow. I’m tired of people trying to trade DJ . They do t even get in the playoffs. The delusion of Bears fan thinking they’re team is gonna be better without DJ is dumbfounding
Maybe DJ, Edmonds and a 4th Round Pic only, Crosby coming off an injury, remember we gotta PAY this dude! And we ought to GET a Pic BACK!
Yes!
No 1st or 2nds given away please………….the trade with D.J. and Edmunds + a 3rd would be the most I would give. I would miss D.J. a ton though.
I say no.
"Multiple" teams interested means whomever trades for him will have to overpay. Perhaps the Bears should avoid this?
edmunds moore and a 3rd round pick for crosby is the worst offer ive seen and ive been all over twitter. raiders wouldnt even a take a phone call if this is the starting point.
Your content SUCKS
hope the bears dont give up multiple 1st rd picks.
Wouldn't the Moore trade trigger dead money?
Good trade
Two Great Players for Crosby NO
Bear Down Baby
Crazy, I'm not giving up DJ and Edmunds… DJ was the most durable WR for the Bears and have done everything that was asked of him. Secondly, no one is discussing DJ restructuring his contract to stay with the Bears.
Nose tackle and 3-Tech. Booker is developing nicely. If they really want another DE sign Hendrickson.
Yes
If you trade or dump Edmunds and DJ which is enough cap to pay For Max, but you won't have shopping money for more overpriced FA's. You gonna have to be happy with Max and whatever you can put together through the draft, UDFA's and whoever we have left on the team.
At some point, somebody on this team has to start drafting better defensive players. I don't care if it's Poles or DA or Johnson. Someone has to start doing things right on defense.
YES!!
