The Chicago Bears announced themselves as contenders in head coach Ben Johnson’s first season by reaching the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs, and they may be adding a game-changing pass-rusher ahead of the 2026 campaign as they look to take the next step.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the NFC North team is now the favorite to land Maxx Crosby at +200 (bet $100 to win $200):
In fact, Chicago is favored over the Las Vegas Raiders keeping him, which maybe isn’t that surprising since the AFC West team is in the early stages of a rebuild and could be looking to stockpile draft assets in an effort to build around presumed No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza in the coming years.
Perhaps a team like Chicago, which seems to be in a win-now window with Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams leading the way, will be the ideal trade partner this offseason.
