As much as I appreciated Byard's ball skills, his age makes it difficult to re-sign - could he replicate 2025 production. I would be okay getting either Brisker or Byard back at our price, but i think Brisker is still in play. Brisker is younger, we drafted him, and the last game versus the Rams left a taste in our mouth.
Agreed, but according to Spotrac, Brisker's market value is the highest of the remaining FA safeties at around $10M. Bears can't pay that.
Brisker is more of a in-the -box strong safety and not that great in coverage. You also have to take into consideration his concussion history. Bears will sign a starting SS in free agency and most likely draft another along with more FA backup types.
Even if the Bears don't re-sign Nahshon Wright (BTW he's at the top of the Spotrac list at $16M!), there will be a good competition at RCB with Stevenson, Terrell Smith and Zah Frazier. But you can never have enough of those guys - so I expect the draft to address that position too. Both Stevenson and Smith are in their final contract years and we know jack about Frazier's abilities.
