Chicago Bears encouraged to trade for 3x All-Pro safety to replace Jaquan Brisker
The Chicago Bears gave up the fourth-most yards per game in the NFL in 2025 (361.8), but still had one of the better overall defenses in the league. This was, of course, the defense generated the most turnovers in the NFL, which included 23 interceptions. Their +22 turnover differential also was the best in the league.
Obviously, their ability to force turnovers came as the result of stellar secondary play. Their safety duo, in particular, of Jaquan Brisker and Kevin Byard III, were exceptional. The problem they face now, though, is that both of them are impending free agents.
With their salary cap situation the way it is, the Bears are likely not going to be able to keep all of their defensive back free agents. A solution, though, could be trading for All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick.
The Chicago Bears could trade for All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick
The Miami Dolphins have a new general manager in Jon Eric-Sullivan and head coach in Jeff Hafley (both formerly of the Green Bay Packers). Over the last few days, Miami has made a series of high-profile roster cuts, including former All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Additionally, the Dolphins have placed five-time Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Bleacher Report believes that Bears could make a run at acquiring him:
“After capturing the NFC North in 2025, the window is officially open in the Windy City. The team trotted out an excellent safety duo a year ago in Jaquan Brisker and veteran Kevin Byard III. C.J. Gardner-Johnson played well for the team after joining the Bears in-season. There’s just one small problem.
“All three are about to hit free agency.
“The Bears are up against the cap—the team is upside-down to the tune of $5 million and change. They will no doubt free up some room with some releases and restructures, but keeping the band together at safety is going to be difficult—especially where Brisker is concerned.
“Provided the team can make the money work, adding Fitzpatrick would at the very least keep the team on track at the position. And if the Bears want to improve on last year’s success, the team can’t afford a defensive backslide.”
The trade proposal suggested to get him to Chicago was listed as a 2026 third round pick and 2027 seventh round pick.
Fitzpatrick, a three-time First Team All-Pro, played in 14 games for the Dolphins last season. He logged one interception, but held opposing quarterbacks to an 89.0 passer rating when targeting him.
The problem, of course, is clearing enough salary cap space to be able to afford him.
