The Bears have the No. 1 pick in April’s NFL Draft and over $62 million in salary cap space, which could allow them to spend heavily on free agents.
Adam Schefter reports that Eagles free agent running back D’Andre Swift is at the top of that list.
Bears are expected to make a major push to land Eagles free-agent RB D’Andre Swift, per sources. He is expected to be a primary Chicago target with free agency now open.

The Philadelphia native and former Georgia Bulldog will enter 2024 NFL free agency on a high after posting solid numbers in 2023.
Swift ranked 5th in the NFL with a career-high 1,049 rushing yards (his first 1,000+ yard campaign), trailing only Christian McCaffrey (1,459), Derrick Henry (1,167), Kyren Williams (1,144), and James Cook (1,122).
He also logged 39 receptions for 214 yards and a touchdown.
Philadelphia only has Kenneth Gainwell under contract for 2024, and Spotrac has Swift’s market value at 4-years, $22 million.
