The Chicago Bears announced Tuesday that they have traded for defensive end Montez Sweat from the Washington Commanders for a 2024 2nd-round draft pick.

"Montez is a huge addition to our team," said general manager Ryan Poles. "He is not only a great player but a great person. We expect him to help elevate our defense."

In 2023, Sweat has 32 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Kareem had a solo tackle in 24 defensive snaps in the loss against the Chargers on Sunday night.
