Chicago Bears linked to 8-interception safety to solve offseason puzzle

Chicago Bears Jaquan Brisker

The Chicago Bears are about to experience some significant turnover in defensive coordinator Dennis Allen’s secondary.

Given that veteran safeties Jaquan Brisker, Kevin Byard, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson are all set to become unrestricted free agents next month, and the Bears are currently projected to open this offseason upwards of $5 million over the cap, there are going to be some difficult decisions for general manager Ryan Poles and the front office to make.

Chicago Bears could target South Carolina safety Jalon Kilgore

Beyond getting at least one of the Bears’ veteran safeties to take a hometown discount to return to Chicago, Poles is likely going to look to the NFL Draft for at least one affordable long-term solution, with upside, at safety.

Over at NFL Media, analyst Chad Reuter suggests that South Carolina safety Jalon Kilgore could be an ideal fit for the Bears in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Kilgore, 6-foot-1 and 211 pounds, is a three-year starter in Columbia, and capped his career with 178 total tackles, a pair of forced fumbles, and eight interceptions.

According to Bleacher Report’s Daniel Harms, Kilgore is the kind of player who always finds himself around the football.

“Kilgore is a physically gifted athlete who excels in the short area,” Harms writes, in a pre-draft scouting report. “He triggers on quick routes and underneath plays fast and with intent. He’s a willing run defender who identifies the ball carrier quickly and attacks. He has the length and play strength to consistently make sure tackles.”

If the Bears are looking to upgrade at safety, have a couple of holes to fill at the position, or just enter this offseason aiming to reload in the secondary with young talent, Kilgore could be a top draft target to watch.
