Patriots could have the steal of free agency if the Bears cut this star player
"D'Andre Swift had the best season of his career in 2025. The former Eagles and Lions running back rushed for a career-high 1,217 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season, earning a career-best 83.0 PFF grade that placed ninth among running backs. Despite that, he could still be a cut candidate. Swift is set to make $7.5 million in 2026, the final year of his contract, but the Bears could save $7.4 million by moving on from him."
The New England Patriots face multiple offseason priorities, including rebuilding their offensive line and acquiring edge rushers. Additional needs include tight end, wide receiver, and running back depth. The Patriots' running back room requires reinforcement beyond veteran Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson. Pro Football Focus identifies D'Andre Swift of the Chicago Bears as a potential cut candidate who would strengthen the Patriots. Swift achieved career-best statistics in 2025 with 1,217 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, earning an 83.0 PFF grade ranking ninth among running backs. Despite his strong performance, the Bears could save $7.4 million by releasing him from his $7.5 million final contract year, making him an attractive free agency option.
