Defensive end Montez Sweat has been a good player. But when the Bears debut their newest addition Sunday against the Saints, they need him to be great.
Big picture, they’re banking on Sweat to change everything.
He arrived Wednesday from the Commanders, practiced twice, and coach Matt Eberflus said he will play against the Saints.
The Bears have had the weakest pass rush in the NFL the last two seasons, and it has crippled them. The priority list for any general manager building a roster is, first, to find a quarterback and, second, to find someone who wrecks everyone else’s.
