00:00Let's break down the six game-changing free agents that could turn the Chicago Bears from
00:06rebuilding to reloading in 2025.
00:11Target, one Mekhi Becton.
00:14Folks, forget everything you thought you knew about offensive linemen.
00:18Mekhi Becton isn't just big.
00:20He's massive.
00:22We're talking 6'7", 364 pounds of pure, unfiltered muscle.
00:30Let's dive deep into Becton's journey.
00:32This guy isn't just a football player.
00:34He's a walking narrative of resilience and transformation.
00:37Remember his early days with the New York Jets?
00:39Injury challenges that would have broken lesser athletes.
00:43But Becton?
00:44He's a fighter.
00:45In April 2024, he signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and did something
00:51remarkable.
00:52He transitioned from tackle to guard and not just transitioned, he dominated.
00:59Pro Football Focus gave him a 75.2 grade last season.
01:03That's not just good.
01:05That's a like.
01:06At just 25 years old, Becton represents exactly what the Bears need.
01:12Young talent with massive upside.
01:14His market value sits between $10 and $11 million.
01:17That's a steal.
01:18For a guy who can protect Caleb Williams and create massive running lanes, Ryan Poles would
01:23be crazy not to make this move.
01:27Let's break down the numbers.
01:28In 2024, Becton started 14 games for the Eagles.
01:33He allowed just 3.5 sacks all season.
01:37Three and a half!
01:38In a league where quarterbacks get crushed play after play, Becton is like a human shield.
01:44A mountain of protection standing between defensive monsters and our franchise quarterback.
01:49But it's not just about protection.
01:51It's about creating opportunities.
01:53When Becton pulls on running plays, he moves defenders like they're kindergartners.
01:58We're talking about a lineman who can turn a routine running play into a game-breaking
02:02moment.
02:03The Bears' offensive line has been a revolving door of mediocrity for years.
02:07Becton isn't just an upgrade.
02:09He's a revolution in the trenches.
02:11Targets to Kenneth Gainwell.
02:15Kenneth Gainwell isn't just a running back.
02:17He's a playmaker.
02:18Stuck behind big names in Philadelphia, this 25-year-old is ready to explode onto the scene.
02:24When Gainwell touches the ball, magic happens.
02:27And I mean magic.
02:28His college stats at Memphis were ridiculous.
02:311,459 total yards and 13 touchdowns in his final season.
02:37But it's not just about numbers.
02:39It's about electricity.
02:41He's lightning quick, has incredible hands, and fits perfectly in Shane Waldron's offensive
02:47system.
02:48Imagine him splitting carries with DeAndre Swift.
02:51Defensive coordinators would have nightmares.
02:54Let's talk analytics.
02:55Gainwell averaged 4.6 yards per carry in 2024.
02:59That might not sound earth-shattering, but context is everything.
03:03He did this with limited touches, often coming into games cold.
03:07Imagine what he could do with a consistent roll.
03:11His passing ability is where he truly shines.
03:1435 receptions in 2024, averaging 8.3 yards per catch.
03:19In today's NFL, running backs aren't just runners.
03:22They're offensive weapons.
03:23And Gainwell, he's a Swiss Army knife of offensive potential.
03:28He's young, he's hungry, and he's exactly the kind of weapon the Bears need to keep
03:33defenses guessing.
03:34Target three, Trey Smith.
03:37Trey Smith isn't just good.
03:38He's an all-pro beast.
03:40At 25 years old, he's already considered one of the best offensive linemen in the entire
03:46NFL.
03:48Kansas City knows talent.
03:49And Smith is proof.
03:52His journey is the kind of story Hollywood would love.
03:55Drafted in the sixth round in 2021, he wasn't just a late-round pick.
03:59He was a statement, a declaration that heart, technique, and pure determination can overcome
04:05any draft projection.
04:07In 2024, Smith was named first-team all-pro.
04:12Not second-team, first-team.
04:14He started all 17 games for the Chiefs, anchoring an offensive line that protected Patrick Mahomes
04:20and created running lanes that looked like highways.
04:24His pass bleeper metrics are insane.
04:27Pro Football Focus gave him an 89.4 pass bleeping grade in 2024.
04:33To put that into perspective, anything above 80 is considered elite.
04:37Smith isn't just elite.
04:39He's otherworldly.
04:41But here's the catch.
04:43He's going to be expensive.
04:45We're talking top-tier money that might make Ryan Poles hesitate.
04:50His market value could easily exceed $20 million annually.
04:56But sometimes you've got to spend money to make championship magic happen.
05:01One elite offensive lineman can transform an entire offense.
05:04And Trey Smith?
05:06He's that kind of game-changer.
05:08Target 4, Josh Sweat.
05:11Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is going to love this guy.
05:15Josh Sweat isn't just a pass rusher.
05:17He's a quarterback's worst nightmare.
05:20Let's dive into the numbers that make Josh Sweat a game-changing defensive weapon.
05:26In 2024, he recorded 11.5 sacks, 58 total tackles, and 17 tackles for loss.
05:33But statistics only tell part of the story.
05:36Sweat is a pure disruptive force that changes entire offensive game plans.
05:44His journey to the NFL is a testament to pure determination.
05:47Coming out of Florida State, Sweat was drafted in the fourth round by Philadelphia in 2018.
05:53Nobody expected him to become an elite pass rusher.
05:56Nobody.
05:56But he's proven every single doubt or wrong.
06:00At 28 years old, he's entering his absolute PRIM.
06:06The physics of his pass rush are ridiculous.
06:09His first step is so explosive, offensive tackles look like they're moving in slow motion.
06:16He's got a combination of speed and power that's rare in the NFL.
06:21Pairing him with Montez Sweat, we're talking about a pass-rushing duo
06:25that could terrorize the entire NFC North.
06:29Imagine these two hunting quarterbacks like they're prey.
06:31Justin Fields, I mean Caleb Williams, would be protected
06:35by a defensive line that strikes fear into opponents' hearts.
06:40In 2024, Josh Sweat had a pass rush win rate of 21.4%.
06:47To put that into perspective, anything above 15% is considered exceptional.
06:53He's not just good, he's a light.
06:57Philadelphia knows how to develop defensive talent, and Josh Sweat is living proof.
07:03His technique is surgical.
07:05His power is brutal.
07:06His potential in Chicago?
07:08Absolutely unlimited.
07:11Target 5 Justin Watson.
07:13Not every free agent needs to be a superstar.
07:16Sometimes you need reliability.
07:20Justin Watson is the definition of a clutch receiver.
07:25Let's break down what makes Watson so special.
07:27Since 2022, he's caught 64 passes with 7 touchdowns.
07:33That's efficiency that makes offensive coordinators drool.
07:37He might not be the fastest guy on the field,
07:39but he runs razor-harp routes and has hands of steel.
07:44His catch rate in 2024 was 68.5%, well above the NFL average.
07:51When Patrick Mahomes needed a critical first down,
07:54Watson was often the guy he looked for.
07:56That's not just a receiver, that's a trustee.
07:59At 29 years old, Watson brings veteran savvy that young receivers dream about.
08:04He understands route concepts like a coach.
08:07His ability to find soft spots in coverage is surgical.
08:11If the Bears decide to move on from Keenan Allen,
08:14Watson could be the perfect replacement.
08:18Consistent, dependable, touchdown maker in Shane Waldron's offensive system.
08:25Watson could be a game changer.
08:27Target 6 Milton Williams.
08:30Our final target is a hidden gem.
08:33Milton Williams had a pass rush grade of 90.4 in 2024,
08:38the second best among all defensive tackles.
08:42Let that sink in.
08:45Second best.
08:46Not in some small category among all defensive tackles.
08:52Williams' story is the kind that makes football fans believe in potential.
08:56Drafted in the third round in 2021 out of Louisiana Tech,
09:00he wasn't a first round darling.
09:03He was a project, a potential, and boy has he delivered.
09:10In 2024, he recorded 6.5 sacks, 42 total tackles, and 11 tackles for loss.
09:16But those numbers don't capture his true impact.
09:19Williams is a disruptive force that collapses offensive lines from the interior.
09:25Young, athletic, explosive.
09:28At just 25 years old, Williams could be the anchor our defensive line desperately needs.
09:35Spot track puts his market value around $12 million,
09:39which is an absolute bargain for his potential.
09:43His pass rush moves are TX book.
09:46He's got hands like a boxer, power like a bulldozer,
09:50and speed that makes offensive linemen look confused.
09:53When he hits the quarterback, it's not just a sack,
09:56it's a statement.
09:59Ryan Poles has the money, he has the draft picks,
10:01and now he has the blueprint to turn the Chicago Bears into a championship contender.
10:08Let's talk cold, hard facts.
10:10The Bears enter 2025 with approximately $55 million in salary cap space.
10:17That's significant fire power in the free agent market.
10:21Not all these guys will come cheap.
10:23Not all of them will sign.
10:25But even landing two or three of these free agents could completely transform our team.
10:33The NFL is a copycat league,
10:35and right now the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are the gold standard.
10:40They're not just winning, they're dominating.
10:44And the Bears, we're positioning ourselves to join that elite club.
10:50This isn't just about one season.
10:51This is about building a dynasty.
10:55Caleb Williams isn't just a quarterback,
10:57he's the future, I'm sure, of Chicago Bears football.
11:00And these free agents, they're the pieces that turn a...
11:06The 2025 Chicago Bears aren't just rebuilding, they're reloading.
