The Chicago Bears have one of the best pass rushers in the NFL in Montez Sweat, who recorded 5.5 sacks last season in 16 games.<\/p>\n

Sweat has taken the Bears’ defense over ever since he joined in the fall of 2023, but he could use a pass-rushing buddy.<\/p>\n

While free agent pass-rushing names like Von Miller have been linked to the Bears, there is still a chance Chicago could make a blockbuster trade for one.<\/p>\n

Mongo Peanut from Windy City Gridiron<\/a> outlined a possible trade the Bears could make for Pittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt.<\/p>\n

“So, what does a trade for T.J. Watt look like? I think it sits somewhere between the return for Khalil Mack and Miller, given his age and production. So I think he would cost a team a 1st round, 2nd round, and late-round pick for the Steelers to even consider it.”<\/p>\n

Watt is a four-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler and still has a lot of football left in him.<\/p>\n

The Bears should try everything possible to trade for Watt, but he will likely require a new contract, which could cost the Bears a handful of draft picks and money.<\/p>\n

Chicago has to do whatever it takes to get out of the basement in the NFC North, and adding one of the best pass rushers in the sport would go a long way.<\/p>\n
