D'Andre Swift

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the Bears were “another option” for Kareem Hunt before he re-signed with the Chiefs.

The 2022 Lions, coordinated by Ben Johnson, made a fairly quick decision to ditch D’Andre Swift the next offseason and pick up between-the-tackles pounder David Montgomery. Hunt seems cut from that cloth at this point, and while Swift’s contract essentially doesn’t allow the Bears to save any cap space without a trade, it isn’t completely surprising to see the Bears sniffing around help at running back. Chicago could be yet another team hunting for a true franchise back in the draft this year.
