New Chicago Bears target emerges in unfolding free agent market
With just running back D’Andre Swift signed, the Chicago Bears had a quiet first day of free agency. Additionally, they only lost one free agent when Justin Jones, a defensive tackle, agreed to a deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
Three Chicago Bears—wide receiver DJ Moore, cornerback Jaylon Johnson, and linebacker T.J. Edwards—made the Pro Football Focus list of the best 101 NFL players for the 2023 season. A brief explanation of PFF’s approach is provided before diving into the details of what they stated about the three Bears.
Their list isn’t a career retrospective or a forecast for the next season; rather, it is based only on their performance in 2023. Additionally, they base their evaluation of players’ performances on the expectation that each position is equal, adhering to the maxim “all positions are created equal.” Lastly, postseason performance is taken into account by PFF, which certainly didn’t affect Chicago’s players.
