Best of luck, Swift!! Wish you could’ve stayed an Eagle, but glad you got the bag you deserved and a team that sees your value/potential. Ball out this season. Philly gon always root for you.

[@chitownfeets5899]

Damn, that was cool how you backed him up. Bears fans should learn how to respect a player that played hard for their team. Unfortunately everyone around here is still massaging JF.

Welcome to Chicago young man.

Solid dude! Bears are building a winning culture 🐻🔽

[@KSheldonBailey1023]

I like it! I also like the smirk he offered in saying "No" to the question if anyone told him anything about Fields. I think they told him he's staying but to keep it under wraps. To me the smirk was telling.

[@GetItAll_TWill]

So give away your team plans to a newly signed player so he give smirking hints to everyone on what we’re going to do but I as the GM can’t just say it?…Got it

[@zzbear317]

I live in the "D" and loved him with the Lions, and I'll love him even more with my Bears. Interesting to see him vs. Montgomery... going to be an interesting year, no matter where we go at QB. Bear Down.

[@AnthonySmith-xc7ur]

Swift was a really good prospect coming into the league I don’t know what was going on in Detroit but I think he’s definitely top 5 RB

[@xxtayoxx7934]

Welcome to Chicago Swift!

[@foolmenow00]

Nat King Poles may have struck gold with this guy. He's in his prime for next 3 years. RB room is now serious for those who are going to stand up and out for playing time. Consistency in running for gains is what Bears need instead of occasional good runs.

[@franzdoreza5230]

Man I wanted DeAndre Swift on the Bears a few years ago, I thought he was dynamic, he’s a good receiver, he can block well enough, he can certainly improve but his ability in the open field, yak, the way he can make people miss and turn 5 yard gains into 50 yard touchdowns… That’s exactly what the Bears need, they don’t have enough speed they have power but not a breakaway guy like Swift so I’m thrilled that they have them good luck to you DeAndre Swift I’m pulling for you

[@Steve-jt4sj]

I like this guy! Obviously talented, but also seems like a solid, humble down to earth guy who’s willing to work/compete to get results! Bear Down!

[@gregorystevens3992]

I like the swift signing , another player that can catch out of the backfield and still 1,000 yard rusher. Get more people that can catch on the field , more options.

[@chitownfeets5899]

Great get for the Bears. Maybe they are bringing JF back because he could use a guy like Swift. When the plays fail because he can’t process quick enough, or make his reads he can check it down to Swift.

i didn't know a ton about him, prior to the move, to be honest. Just a few things I heard over the yrs. He presents well ! A Humble Leader !!!! I Hope he succeeds here !

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Huge pickup for whomever rookie the Bears take either at 1 or 2 if they get Wash to overpay. His ability to break any run for a TD and be a great catch out of the backfield will be the huge help to settle the rookie QB. Sad Fields never got that help in his first year. I hope Swift balls out every year

But it aint coming from an eagles fan.He was definitely an upgrade from mile Sanders.Really great teammate, really good player.He will be missed but he went to a good team

[@tonywilliams6492]

lol ok old man

[@TheBullseyeInsight]

@@demmefrazier6629disagree 1000%. A read option is only more explosive when both your RB and QB have 4.3 speed and are super shifty like Swift and Justin.

[@DondreDashard]

@@demmefrazier6629Will make JF’s option game better cus teams will actually have to follow a threat like Swift thru the hole which could/would break JF free a lot and vice versa.

[@chitownfeets5899]

Yes good get. When JF fails his reads and hesitates to throw, Swift will be his check down. Oh wait, it will be the coaches fault. My bad, I got ahead of myself. Or maybe it will be that the Gatorade in the locker room was expired.

[@brandonbass1717]

I dont mind the signing and the overall value, but he pairs well with Foreman, the power back. Roschon is a productive blocker, at least, and can step in if Herbert's injured at rb 2. I want them to ads another FA OL like the guy from the Pats if still available and entertain the idea of moving Wright back to the LT spot that he excelled at while at Tennessee. I don't see Mr. Jones ever being too consistent at LT, and it's time to face reality. LT has to be consistent and as close as dominant as possible.

[@connorbutts-it6ws]

Foreman is a FA

[@TheBullseyeInsight]

Foreman is not a Bear anymore and Darnell Wright was NOT great at LT. He was ELITE at RT his final season of college, what are you smoking?? They moved him over for a reason

[@GCTization]

The fact that Justin didn’t reach out to him upon his signing is very telling.

[@ianosorio9591]

Well Justin said he was going to be on vacation during the free agency period. That's why he unfollowed the team, to get away from the noise.

[@GCTization]

@@ianosorio9591He did, but this is his boy. Justin always reached out to new offensive players, even if he didn’t know them. With the Allen signing it’s clear, the JF Bears era is over. But I believe Justin still has a future in the league. Nothing but love for the man.

Jesus Christ just start Justin feels already, enough with this bullshit enough with this speculation and yada yada yada because it’s all nonsense… The reality is the Bears are most likely to keep Justin Fields and less likely to have him playing in Breckenridge or elsewhere. He belongs at Vail especially with those steep runs he could do a great job… But honestly he could be a great player if used in the right method.

[@tomwagner8535]

Stop with Justin. He’s gone
