I don't see Poles giving up draft picks for a half a year rental. We are still a year away from completing this roster through the draft. Poles may make an addition but he won't go crazy.
If Teller is right, he would be a great addition and on the top of my list. The Bears should have the money with a rookie qb and a budget offensive line.
Great video on the potential trade candidates, Swift! I'd like to see a video comparing these guys to the 2025 draft class. If Poles grabs a guy, fine. In Poles We Trust. If he doesn't, the draft is linemen heavy. I'd like to see the Bears make the SB this year but that would take a LOT of luck. Poles is building a dynasty.
Thanks Swifty for this and for displaying some good reasoning - after listening to all the conjecture re Garrett and Crosby - it is good to see some thought go into this. As for trades - I do not see us acquiring anyone except for an obvious flyer for a real low draft choice. No need to chase players at this point. Maybe next year but we need one more good draft to proclaim ourselves title contenders. Keep the draft choices and spin off Davis, Robinson and Herbert for what ever you can get. We have a good spot in the next draft with the 2 second rounders. Stand pat.
I told Poles to not pull the trigger until I have heard from Swifty.. He probably won't make a trade but I just called him and gave him the okay to make a move now.
Poles has done an amazing job of constructing the foundation of this roster. The only position that really makes sense to me, is someone like a Mike Williams or WR depth. You only give up draft capital in a mid season trade if you have massive hole in your roster/injury, or you’re making a Super Bowl push. DE is not as big as a concern as it was preseason, they have performed pretty good. AND you have a nice depth piece in Jacob Martin coming back. If anything we sell a couple pieces for some pick swaps or 7th rounders at most (Davis/borom/D Rob)
@@eldiablony274 I actually couldn’t agree more. I feel like I’m trippin, cuz Collin Johnson is my guy. I’ve been hyping him up since before the preseason. Point is, NO need to trade for anyone. Keep our draft capitol and keep taking swings in the draft
@@oscarguillen5452 amen. Poles is no dummy like Pace. Giving up 1's for a Garrett or Crosby ( although would be something to see ) , is prob not the wisest move for Bears. We have depth , let's move some , but I don't think anything major will happen. If we could get them for that Carolina 2nd then maybe
Please no don’t get rid of draft picks. We are in an ideal position to start building around this qb from the draft. That was poles initial statement when joining the team
No way Giving up Draft Picks . Our first three picks in next years Draft are so important to the Bears Future. We will need those picks in order to help the OL and DL .
I'd honestly like to save our draft picks and continue to build this team through the draft. I trust in Ryan NEVER NOT WORKING Poles! Thank you Swift..BEAR DOWN!
I think Caleb finds the his deep ball connection this game Rome gonna have another breakout game vs commanders and dj and they both become there daddy’s
We’re not going to the Superbowl this year! Stay put and build through the draft and sign some of these players this off season if need be. Good stuff.
Jmo, and OG is a talented young kid, but at DE I think we are set for the year if it's Not Garrett or Crosby. Poles is pry willing to spend to add 1 of those 2. I think he either 1 doesn't like Reddick's cost or 2 his size. So at DE, I think 🤔 Poles is trying to go big or go home. Booker is a great young talent the whole Nfl is talking about. Walker looks good. And while I like an OG's talent, hard to spend a 6th and then another pick on a backup anything ya know.
Swifty, I think most of the fan base is probably in the same boat of “GO BIG OR GO HOME”. For me that means get a Garrett, Crosby, or Teller…..OR…..keep the picks for a very good draft next year. I think “Going Big” has some very small chances. And the very last thing I wanna do is trade draft picks for mediocre or “good” players. We already have those without wasting resources.
I do not see Poles trading for a rental. He may go for a younger player that he thinks fills a need in the future, but with the high draft picks we have he can better fill holes for next year.
I think Venus Jones Jr will get traded. Obviously we’d rather him step up and miraculously become a contributor but his leash might be gone at this point in Chicago.
Lots of teams would be willing to “take a chance” on him with his natural born talent. I wish we would do more to develop him but pretty sure they’ve given up on him.
I still think you shoot for Garret. His current cap hits are able to be absorbed and I think the Panthers WILL end up with a very high second round pick if not the 33rd pick. Id give that up and a future second, Herbert, Jones Jr and Davis. They might ask for first rounders, but they are in a desperate cap situation. They have too much tied up in Garrett, Watson and a few other players. Watson out, they genuinely are screwed. Interestingly enough, they didnt look good WITH Watson.
We've known King Poles to be verry methodical mostly, so he likely is being patient on how this team comes together. Seriously, why play gambler when you've already showed your hand and won with the bets you've played? No need to try cashing in on rebuilding team. Let's play some Texas hold 'em until next year.
Chase Young for a conditional 4th rounder if we have one to give. Otherwise, we just need to stick with our current guys. Don’t mortgage the future unless there is a legitimate shot at a Super Bowl this season.
poles is not adding a situational rusher, you have jacob martin still to be activated, taylor and booker as situational rushers...if poles can add a true DE opposite sweat like granderson who is a popular name then its possible but a situational rusher is a waste. Bears need better run stopping depth...williams is a liability and pickens is an unknown...if the bears are going to beat the lions, vikes and packers they need to be better against the run...get rid of robinson, herbert and davis
lol! I think Poles is going to keep his head and draft capital. He and his scouts are keeping their eyes on potential draft picks for the trenches on both sides of the ball. Be patient! Bear Down!!
If the bears dont trade for linemen i dont think the bears can be good enough to make it thru our schedule. All this hate over the coaching and you dont realize that all of this extends from the line. Caleb cant get the ball off half the time and a hb dive with deandre swift will never work behind our line
Who TF makes up these Teams Calling for Dom Robinson Rumors every year?!?!? 😂😂😂 You know you're a liar!!! 😅 At this point it's gotta be a running joke. I don't think Poles makes any trades tbh, if he does I'm sure he would hand someone Nate's 12mil this year and next off the cap.
I say the Bears get no one. Every year teams feel the need to lead each other on a circle jerk. Only the serious or horrible teams make moves. Also the other teams are not owned by The McCaskeys.
Great job again Swifty! Such great content! I have a feeling Poles will have a quiet trade period for the 1st time. Bears are solid enough at all positions with 4 picks in the top 85 or so and don't have much cap space. Bears are a year away from making a deadline splash.
Stop being a buzz kill haha. If we're not trading for a upgrade like Myles, a guard or center. Then stack picks & let's contend next year but with myles 👀

I agree, and hope you are right.
Great stuff Swift setting an alarm ⏰. BearDown
I don’t imagine a trade happening until after the game Sunday but swift, great content man. Great points and great finds

It would be nice to see Kiran play LT or guard first before looking for free agents to first see what we have

If we need a big body WR I'd rather keep the draft pick and roll w Colin Johnson. Much better special teams guy and blocker , also much younger

Always can count on Swifty to keep it real and realistic. Fantasy is for a different place.

Walker Little was actually a 5 Star Recruit, maybe even No 1 on his class. Shows how far Stanford 🏈 has fallen
Jmo, and OG is a talented young kid, but at DE I think we are set for the year if it's Not Garrett or Crosby. Poles is pry willing to spend to add 1 of those 2.

Even a 6th rounder for Herbert has value for possible move up sweetener we may need. Still better than just cutting him next year.
When does Caleb become your user pic swift?
What about the rumored Chubba Hubbard to the Bears? I think this trade would be a great 1-2 punch.
Swifty, I think most of the fan base is probably in the same boat of “GO BIG OR GO HOME”.

Beyond 30 , one should consider retireing and not coming to the BEARS. We will build though the draft. 🐻⬇

Let Jones, Davis and Robinson go and hopefully they can
I heard someone say the DT from the saints could be an option for the bears, your thoughts ?
Nvm i commented to soon
Leaving comment up for the algorithm
If anyone can call it - Swifty can. hes done it MANY times before.
Chase Young for a conditional 4th rounder if we have one to give. Otherwise, we just need to stick with our current guys. Don’t mortgage the future unless there is a legitimate shot at a Super Bowl this season.
how do you feel about the rumors about us trading for travon walker
Why would the Jaguars trade him?
insurance protection for our QB would be worth a couple bucks
Tyson
poles is not adding a situational rusher, you have jacob martin still to be activated, taylor and booker as situational rushers...if poles can add a true DE opposite sweat like granderson who is a popular name then its possible but a situational rusher is a waste.

Don't piss away Draft pix , stay the course unless you can fleece em.
Pass blockers not pass rushers are needed
Anyone who takes Nate Davis will expect the Bears to eat the remainder of his salary this year.
lol! I think Poles is going to keep his head and draft capital. He and his scouts are keeping their eyes on potential draft picks for the trenches on both sides of the ball. Be patient!
Bear Down!!
Go get DT jeffery simmons or DE Granderson
Sell and hold onto the picks!......wait for the draft. Trade up the draft don't take left overs!
One thing is for sure - the Browns are a total dumpster fire.
If the bears dont trade for linemen i dont think the bears can be good enough to make it thru our schedule. All this hate over the coaching and you dont realize that all of this extends from the line. Caleb cant get the ball off half the time and a hb dive with deandre swift will never work behind our line

@knowledgeuntamed9177 bro that's why i didn't even mention him lol 😂 😆
Not looking. Just listening.

Cowboys trade parsons to the Bears for a 4th rounder. Cause they are the cowboys😂
5th for Herbert?
No to Ojulari got my eye on Travon Walker Zadarius Smith is rumored to want to go to Detroit and is OLD AF
Why would Jags trade him? 11 sacks in 11 games
@SwiftSportsNetwork let's be real they NOT goin nowhere Pederson will more than likely be fired come season's end
Stop being a buzz kill haha. If we're not trading for a upgrade like Myles, a guard or center. Then stack picks & let's contend next year but with myles 👀
Let's pass on Chase Young ... he's got Yanick vibes
Poles certainly has a bunch of bums he signed to give away.
Velus has straight line speed but zero football skills. He’s worthless and should be cut.
Whoop!
You are in the dent and wrecked pile. Non of these are worth any draft pick.
