There's been plenty of discussion about the Chicago Bears' pass rush this offseason following a 2025 campaign where they totaled just 35 sacks, which was the seventh-worst in the NFL.
While many expected Chicago to address the pass rush, especially defensive end, this offseason, they didn't make any moves in free agency or the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Ryan Poles, head coach Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen sound confident with the group they have, but does that necessarily rule out a move this summer?
There are still some intriguing free agent options at edge rusher where the Bears could turn to a stopgap option to shore up things alongside Montez Sweat, Austin Booker and Dayo Odeyingbo. In fact, ESPN's Matt Bowen believes Chicago is the best team fit for free agent edge rusher Von Miller.
Miller, a former second overall pick in 2011, spent his first 11 seasons with the Denver Broncos, where he was one of the NFL's most dominant pass rushers. He also had stops with the Los Angeles Rams (2021), Buffalo Bills (2022-24) and most recently the Washington Commanders (2025). Miller has totaled 138.5 career sacks (the current active league leader) and, even at 37, he's shown he still has something left in the tank.
The Bears dealt with injuries across the board on defense last season, including at edge rusher with Booker missing the first seven games with a knee injury, Odeyingbo suffering a torn Achilles in Week 9 and rookie Shemar Turner suffering a torn ACL in Week 8. Chicago is expected to have their full complement of defensive ends healthy heading into 2025. But it's difficult to rule out a potential free-agent move, especially once training camp kicks into gear in July.
