Chicago Bears, NFL get major Nahshon Wright warning before free agency even begins

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chicago Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright is hitting free agency at the perfect time.

The 27-year-old is coming off of the strongest season of his career, intercepting a personal-best five passes, while notching a career-high 80 total tackles and breaking up one pass as one of the Bears’ standouts in the secondary this past season.

Given that the Bears need to figure out how to handle a safety group that is about to see Jaquan Brisker, Kevin Byard, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson about to hit free agency at once, figuring out how to keep Wright, while currently sitting upwards of $5 million over the cap is going to force some difficult decisions for general manager Ryan Poles.

NFL warned not to overpay for Chicago Bears CB Nahshon Wright

Over at Bleacher Report, NFL analyst Gary Davenport put together a list of the free agents who are “busts” waiting to happen, including Wright among the defensive backs who is a big overpay risk.

“Handing Wright well over $15 million a season is bad roster building,” Davenport writes for B/R. “Is it possible that Wright is a late bloomer and budding star? Yes, but it’s far more likely that his gaudy interception numbers were a one-year outlier.

“Opposing quarterbacks weren’t afraid of him. He was targeted 98 times in 2025 and allowed half a dozen touchdowns in coverage. He deserves a raise, but not a windfall.”

Whether Wright’s breakout season was a byproduct of additional opportunities and targets, finally being maximized in a scheme that’s ideal for his traits, or a perfect storm, the Bears and the rest of the NFL may risk paying a premium to find out.

With the Bears already tight against the cap and a staggering amount of depth at risk in the secondary, Chicago must decide if Wright is a foundational piece worth a premium or a luxury they can no longer afford.

In a league where ballhawks are rare, the Bears may find that the only thing more dangerous than overpaying Wright is watching him walk away for nothing.
