NFL Rumors: Chicago Bears linked to former Saints CB to improve overall defense
The Chicago Bears certainly had one of the most exciting defenses in the NFL last year. After all, they led the league in turnovers forced and turnover differential. That being said, they made a living on being a bend but don’t break defense, which made their overall numbers rather unspectacular.
Indeed, the Bears ranked 29th in the NFL, giving up 361.8 total yards per game. They ranked 21st in the NFL allowing 227.4 passing yards per game, and 27th in the league allowing 134.5 rushing yards per game. Chicago’s scoring offense ranked 24th in league, as they allowed 24.4 points per game.
Clearly, if the Bears are going to take the next step to competing for a Super Bowl, they need to improve those numbers.
Chicago Bears linked to New Orleans Saints CB Alontae Taylor ahead of NFL free agency
Even though Chicago all of a sudden has more salary cap space that they thought they would following the retirement of Drew Dalman, they still need to be wise with how they spend their money.
To that end, one affordable free agent cornerback that they could target is Alontae Taylor from the New Orleans Saints. Tyler Dragon of USA Today recently listed Chicago as the best fit for Taylor, writing:
“Taylor has the versatility to play in the slot or outside corner. His seven career sacks rank first in Saints history for sacks by a cornerback. The Bears ranked 29th in total defense, the worst among all playoff teams in 2025.”
While Dragon’s argument makes sense, it should be noted that Taylor had a rough go of it over the last two years. Granted, he was playing on a woeful Saints defense.
That being said, over the last two seasons, Taylor has allowed 1,460 yards and 13 touchdowns when targeted. In 2024, opposing quarterbacks had a passer rating of 111.0 when targeting him. He improved in this facet in 2025, but still gave up a 98.2 passer rating when targeted.
