Chicago Bears named “best fit” for 8x Pro Bowl pass rusher as season approaches
The Chicago Bears have spent the off-season addressing a variety of needs on their roster. After winning the NFC North with an 11-6 record in 2025, expectations are high in Chicago. Offensively, they are going to continue to rely on the young talent they already have to put points on the board.
Defensively, though, some serious questions remain. Will the reformed secondary be as adept at creating turnovers as last year’s group? With so many new players on the roster at cornerback and safety, it is a valid and understandable question.
A great deal of their success in this depart will rely on the effectiveness of their pass rush, which has been a position that Chicago has not addressed much this off-season.
Chicago Bears named best fit for future Hall of Famer Von Miller
Due to their lack of pass rush success in 2025, there are concerns that this same weakness could lead to struggles in 2026. ESPN suggests that Chicago, therefore, is the best fit for future Hall of Fame pass rusher Von Miller, who remains a free agent:
“The Bears are awaiting the return of edge rushers Dayo Odeying”bo (Achilles) and Shemar Turner (torn ACL), and the team didn’t take an edge rusher in the draft. That could open the door for Miller as a sub-package defender for Chicago.
“At this stage of his career, Miller is best used as a true designated pass rusher. He had a team-high nine sacks for the Commanders last season.”
As mentioned above, Miller had 9.0 sacks as a designated pass rusher for the Washington Commanders last season. He currently has 138.5 career sacks, the most among active NFL players.
He would not be an every down player at this point, but Miller’s experience and leadership could help the Bears defense take the next step. A two-time Super Bowl Champion, he also knows what teams need to do in order to reach the highest level in the game.
The issue, though, is Chicago’s salary cap. They would have to re-work a couple of contracts in order to sign Miller, even for the league minimum (which he may not accept). Still, it would be worth giving him a try.
