This is likely nothing more than a man visiting his wife in Chicago for the love-filled weekend. Also, his wife is currently a member of the Chicago Red Stars soccer team.
If the Chicago Bears were able to land Watt, it would make an already formidable defense even better. Watt would be on the defensive line with Khalil Mack, another former defensive player of the year, and on the same side of the ball as young defensive studs like Roquan Smith, Kyle Fuller and Eddie Jackson.
However, the Bears appear to have bigger needs that may need addressing first, like the quarterback position. They have been linked to trade rumors surrounding Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.
According to sportrac.com the Bears don’t have any cap space as of now to sign Watt, but there will certainly be some dead money cut and contracts renegotiated. Either way if Watt was to join his wife in the windy city, he would likely have to take a nice sized pay cut.
