NFL Free Agency Moves: Eagles, Commanders, Bears Address Key Weaknesses

Eagles face safety vacuum after losing reliable coverage stars Reed Blankenship and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. With A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert retention costs looming, Philly must draft a safety. Riq Woolen and Quinyon Mitchell can handle corners, but a nickel/dime safety remains critical. Drafting a versatile back-end player offers best path forward.

Commanders need a playmaking wideout after Terry McLaurin's dominance. Brandon Aiyuk, owed $26.2M but unlikely to return to 49ers, could thrive in Jayden Daniels' offense. GM Adam Peters should pursue a one-year deal for the star receiver, leveraging cap space to avoid long-term commitment.

Bears must fix secondary after Drew Dalman's retirement and Garrett Bradbury's shaky tenure. With cap space, trading for a proven defensive back or signing a free agent could stabilize the unit. Drafting a cornerback remains an option, but immediate help is needed to support Justin Fields' growth.
