The Bears acquired Commanders pass rusher Montez Sweat on Tuesday ahead of the 2023 NFL trade deadline in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The move bolsters the defensive front for Chicago, as the 27-year-old Sweat will provide instant impact to one of the worst pass rushes in the league.
However, the Bears, sitting at 2-6 on the season, appear to be on the verge of yet another season without a trip to the playoffs. Sweat, meanwhile, will be a free agent following the season.
