"Kam Curl is a name we should get to know ahead of the start of NFL free agency. ESPN's Matt Bowen shares a list of the NFL's 50 best free agents going into the 2026 offseason. And in doing so, he names the Chicago Bears as the best fit for Los Angeles Rams free-agent safety Kam Curl. Consider it noted!"
"This is an interesting bit of framing from Bowen for a variety of reasons. Firstly, Bowen sees Kam Curl's fit in this defense because of his versatility and ability to play both safety spots. That type of flexibility seems to be increasingly valuable in modern NFL defenses. Secondly, Bowen's mention of pairing Curl and All-Pro free-agent-to-be Kevin Byard III caught my eye. That seems oddly specific and is now something I'll keep in mind as we move through the offseason."
Kam Curl, a Los Angeles Rams safety, ranks No. 41 among 50 top NFL free agents heading into 2026. Curl recorded two interceptions for the Rams in 2025 and made a pivotal overtime pick against the Bears in the NFC Divisional Round. The Chicago Bears could need to replace both starting safeties, and Curl's ability to play either safety spot and bolster run defense fits coordinator Dennis Allen's scheme. Pairing Curl with potential returning All-Pro Kevin Byard III is a suggested option. Salary-cap constraints, with the Bears reportedly about $5.3 million over the cap, could limit maneuvers.
