RB D’Andre Swift - Three-years, $24 million

LOL, he is probably already in a shallow unmarked grave as we speak 

It's hard to know what to believe.  I just go by my own eyes and Swift looks (to me) like Monte with another gear of speed that DM did not have.  Not knocking Monty because he was a rock solid RB.  I think he is a really solid person as well as solid player.  Swift just looks like a guy who can kick in that speedier gear to get to the edge, as well as run between the tackles.  I noticed that his 2023 stats had him exactly the same as Monte in yards per attempt (4.6ypa).  Neither is an elite player.  Both are pretty solid all the same.  

I do believe that the defense and the running game can be a help to a young rookie quarterback like Caleb Williams.  So I'm fine with the Bears adding another guy to the RB committee.  

Kind of where I have been at also. I mean, in the end it's not a big deal. I don't think we lost anything (at least I hope not). Just not sure we gained anything either (but I hope so). I agree that all we accomplished is spend more for about the same thing. But it's not a biggie in the end. It did hurt to lose Monty so glad we think we have a replacement.

I'm surprised they apparently have given up on Herbert and Johnson after 1 season.  Wasn't a big fan either of the signing.

Bears get Swift and Packers get Josh Jacobs. That’s a net negative.
