D'Andre Swift, after achieving a career-high 1,046 rushing yards in his first season outside Detroit in 2023, including the 5th-most yards when rushing to the weakside (503 yards), has moved to Chicago. This acquisition marks the Chicago Bears' first significant signing during the legal tampering period, highlighting their strategic moves in a big free agent class for running backs. Swift's transfer is part of a notable trend in the NFL's free agency period, which has seen top running backs like Tony Pollard moving to Tennessee, indicating a competitive market for running backs this year. The Bears' and Titans' early signings, including Swift's, suggest an NFL shift towards valuing explosive plays from running backs.

D’Andre Swift to Chicago (you love it, @WWERollins) and Tony Pollard to the Titans. Here’s my initial fantasy thoughts on both and what it means for my beloved Cowboys. https://t.co/R42mgl7rmz

Big free agent class here for running backs this year. Two already off the board with Swift to Chicago and Pollard to Tennessee.
