The Bears are finally getting the pass rusher they’ve coveted after agreeing to a trade for Commanders defensive end Montez Sweat, a source said. They dealt their 2024 second-round pick to get him.
Sweat, 27, has 35 1/2 sacks in 67 games since the Commanders drafted him in the first round in 2019. He has 6 1/2 sacks this season, which is more than any Bears player.
The Bears are last in the NFL with just 10 sacks and were the worst in the league last season as well with 20.
The trade for Sweat clearly is intended to be a long-term move.
