The Chicago Bears had an active off-season after finishing last in the division last season with a 5-12 file.
Chicago won his Franchise quarter in the draft last season with Caleb Williams, but after taking 68 championship bags, it was clear that the team’s off-season was to be the priorities. The Bears have solved their offensive line problems, exchanging Joe Thuney and signed Drew Dalman while adding parts to their defense.
In a division dominated by elite offenses, Chicago needs a solid defense. Kristopher Knox to Bleacher Report turned The Bears as a “best fit” to continue to support their defense by signing the 30 -year -old EJ Speed secondary.
“We have seen an early race on the seconds outside the ball in a free agency, but EJ Speed, outside competition of Indianapolis Colts, was not among the initial signatures,” wrote Knox. “This could be due to the fact that the speed was only a defensive starter from two years to Indy and will be 30 years old in June. The speed can compete as a starting secondary or a high -end rotation player and can also provide a special team value.”
“The Bears de Chicago should also have a certain interest in speed. The defense of Chicago fought against the race in 2024, ending the year classified 29th in yards by authorized postponement and 28th in the authorized ground yards. The coach of the seconds of the new Bears Richard Smith held the same post in Indianapolis during the two Speed campaigns as a full -time starter.”
Speed is a starting caliber who has spent his entire career with the Indianapolis colts. The veteran recorded 142 plated and 93 solo stops last year and recorded 244 plated in his previous two seasons and is projected Having a market value of $ 5.4 million, according to Spotrac. He could provide Chicago an improved defense at a reasonable cost.
