"League insiders have long believed the Chicago Bears will be suitors for Etienne if he hits free agency. This is despite having a solid 1-2 punch with D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. Swift has one year remaining on his deal, though the Bears can opt out, and Monangai is just a second-year player. While some will see Etienne for Swift as an even swap, sources say the Jags running back is a better fit for Liam Coen's offense, as he's much more of a pass-catching threat."
"Travis Etienne Jr. was a first-round pick (25th overall) by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft. The 27-year-old running back is coming off what is arguably his most productive season as a pro. Etienne ran for 1,107 yards on 260 carries and scored seven rushing touchdowns. He also added 36 catches, 292 receiving yards, and six touchdown grabs."
League insiders believe the Chicago Bears will pursue Travis Etienne Jr. if he reaches free agency despite a current backfield pairing of D'Andre Swift and second-year Kyle Monangai. D'Andre Swift has one year remaining on his deal with the club able to opt out, and Monangai remains early in his career. Etienne projects as a stronger pass-catching threat and is viewed as a better match for Liam Coen's offensive scheme. Etienne, a 2021 first-round pick, produced 1,107 rushing yards on 260 carries with seven rushing touchdowns and added 36 receptions for 292 yards and six receiving scores.
