Finishes career year
Sweat recorded three tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Sweat was sent from Washington to Chicago in a mid-season trade, and he was a dominant pass rusher the entire season. The fifth-year player posted career highs with 57 tackles and 12.5 sacks. He also added a pair of forced fumbles. After acquiring Sweat, the Bears signed him through 2027, and he should remain an excellent IDP in the emerging Chicago defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leads two teams in sacks
Per Field Yates of ESPN, Sweat became the first player in NFL history to lead two different teams in sacks in the same season.
ANALYSIS
Sweat recorded 6.5 sacks in eight games with the Commanders and 6.0 in nine games with the Bears, both team-high sack totals. Chicago acquired Sweat via trade from Washington midseason and promptly signed him to a four-year, $98 million extension, so Sweat's expected to remain a leader on defense for the Bears for years to come.

2019
Sweat is set to play out 2023 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, while the defensive end Washington drafted in the first round a year after him (Chase Young) didn't have his option picked up. The Commanders likely will lose one of them next offseason, and possibly both, but first they'll probably get another strong year out of Sweat, who has 29 sacks and 74 QB hits through 59 games. He turns 27 shortly before Week 1 and isn't quite among the elite as a pass rusher, but Sweat at least has proven himself to reliably be an above-average starter.
