It is a pretty well-known fact that the Chicago Bears<\/a> are going to be targeting defensive line help this off-season. This, of course, is why there have been so many rumors linking them to disgruntled Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> pass rusher Maxx Crosby<\/a>. However, Crosby\u2019s massive contract is a very real stumbling block, one that may prevent most NFL teams from acquiring him.<\/p>\n

Due to this, the Bears may have to look at other avenues to supplement their defensive line. Today, the Miami Dolphins<\/a> made a number of high-profile roster cuts, and one of them could provide Chicago the answer that they are looking for.<\/p>\n

Chicago Bears named potential landing spot for Bradley Chubb

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most notable name that Miami released today was five-time First Team All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill. As he is recovering from a gruesome leg\/knee injury, it is not yet known if he will play in the NFL at all in 2026.<\/p>\n

Another player, though, that could be intriguing to multiple NFL teams is two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who was also released by the Dolphins today.<\/p>\n

In a recent article posted by\u00a0CBS Sports<\/a>, the Bears were listed as a possible landing spot for the former Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bears, like the Colts and Panthers, didn\u2019t get after the quarterback much this past season. They ranked 29th in pressure rate despite employing\u00a0Montez Sweat on one side of the line. The rest of the edge group just did not have any juice whatsoever. Chubb isn\u2019t the type of player who will solve the problem single-handedly, but as part of a multi-pronged approach, he could make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

After missing the entire 2024 NFL season with a torn ACL, Chubb returned to the Dolphins in 2025, played all 17 games, and registered 8.5 sacks.<\/p>\n

When the 2026 NFL season begins, Chubb will be 30 years old. His age, therefore, may scare multiple teams away, as will his injury history.<\/p>\n

That being said, he still has something left to give and could view Chicago as an ideal situation for himself due to the fact they are a postseason contender.<\/p>\n
