Bears Senior Bowl Buzz: Myles Garrett or Maxx Crosby? Draft vs Trade Debate!

Pat and Shea break down everything coming out of the Senior Bowl and what it means for the Chicago Bears’ offseason plans. With insight from Brad Biggs, the guys discuss why Bears fans shouldn’t expect anything splashy this offseason, how the salary cap impacts ownership’s willingness to keep spending, and where the Bears can realistically improve. The conversation centers on the Bears’ biggest need — edge rusher. Pat and Shea debate the risks of trading for a veteran versus building through the NFL Draft, including blockbuster hypotheticals like Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby. They take a deeper dive into Crosby’s Next Gen Stats, compare a potential Crosby acquisition to the Khalil Mack trade, and question whether pairing Crosby with Montez Sweat would be worth the massive financial investment. Later, the guys examine a weak free agent market, potential DB departures, the importance of trusting Ryan Poles to build through the draft, roster creativity, and even float the idea of a Khalil Mack reunion to wrap things up. 👇 Subscribe for daily Chicago Bears offseason news, draft talk & insider analysis from ESPN Chicago! 📱 Follow for more: #ChicagoBears #BearsPodcast #ESPNChicago #NFL #BearDown #SeniorBowl #NFLDraft #MylesGarrett #MaxxCrosby #RyanPoles #BearsOffseason #UnderdogFantasy
