Chicago Bears linked to 113-sack free agent pass rusher
General manager Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears could be about to flip the script.
After committing significant resources at the top of the free agent market, and early rounds of the NFL Draft, building a turnkey offense around second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, Chicago could be primed to aggressively fortify the defense in the months ahead, this offseason.
There might even be a familiar face sitting atop the Bears’ free agent target board.
Could the Chicago Bears reunite with Khalil Mack in free agency?
While the Bears’ defense led the NFL in takeaways, much of the success on that side of the ball came from coordinator Dennis Allen’s secondary, despite a pass rush that struggled to get home.
Montez Sweat led the Bears with 10 sacks, in one of the most dominant seasons of his career, but Gervon Dexter was the only other Chicago defender to register more than five sacks on the season, finishing the 2025 campaign with 6.5.
Help could be on the way.
Over at CBS Sports, Zachary Pereles suggests that former Bears All-Pro Khalil Mack could be an ideal fit for Chicago once free agency gets underway.
“Mack makes a return to Chicago, where he starred from 2018-21,” Pereles writes for CBS. “The Bears need to juice their pass rush without spending a ton, and Mack fits both.”
Boasting 113 career sacks, and posting 5.5 sacks for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025, Mack should see a robust market but likely nothing compared to what All-Pro Trey Hendrickson might command.
Given that the Bears are currently roughly $9.7 million over the cap, Poles and the front office are going to have their work cut out for them to make the kind of impact additions on defense that they were able to build around Williams last offseason, but if Mack is open to taking slightly below market value to chase a ring opposite Sweat, this could be an ideal destination for everyone involved.
