Bears defensive end Montez Sweat had big dreams when he hit the NFL as a first-round pick, and while that certainly included piling up sacks, money and accolades, he really wanted to play for a winner.
To this point, he’s been at the wrong places at the wrong times.
He was a first-round pick of the Commanders back in their toxicity era, and they went 35-54-1 before trading him to the Bears in 2023. That wasn’t any better as they bumbled to 9-17 after his arrival. Sweat is 29, and going into his seventh season, he’s played just one playoff game.
