NFL Execs Reportedly See D’Andre Swift Among NFL’s Top RBs

The Chicago Bears caught some heat from experts and media for their decision to pay running back D’Andre Swift in free agency. Most believe the best trend for NFL teams these days is not to pay a position that has a long track record of burning out quickly. Running backs don’t often stay productive beyond their 30th birthday. GM Ryan Poles didn’t care. He and head coach Matt Eberflus saw Swift as somebody who brought some critical missing elements to their backfield, namely his speed and pass-catching ability.
