The Chicago Bears could face serious challenges if either defensive tackle Andrew Billings or Gervon Dexter Sr. suffers an injury. Beyond these two players, the team lacks depth on the defensive line and would benefit from reinforcing the position sooner rather than later. One possible solution for bolstering the defensive tackle position could be a trade for New Orleans Saints DT Bryan Bresee.<\/p>\n
Bryan Bresee has made steady progress since being drafted in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He recorded 4.5 sacks and 24 total tackles in his rookie season while appearing in all 17 games.<\/a> However, his playing time was limited to just 48.69%,<\/a> which is less than what\u2019s typical for a first-round pick. This season, he finds himself in a similar situation, sitting behind Khalen Saunders and Nathan Shepherd on the depth chart. Despite this, Bresee has continued to develop, with Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen noting his improvement as a run defender.<\/a> Coming into the league, Bresee had solid ability as a pass rusher but needed to refine his run-stopping skills. Now, he can take the next step and potentially play a more prominent role with the Bears.<\/p>\n Short set, poor base.. Done in about 1.2 seconds.<\/p>\n Even for the good ones.
