3 teams that could steal Dre'Mont Jones from the Denver Broncos

3. Chicago Bears

As of right now, the Chicago Bears are not expected to spare any expense when it comes to 2023 NFL free agency. They are equipped with nearly $100 million in cap space, currently, and have more flexibility than any other team in the NFL.

And by flexibility, I of course mean that the Bears can really just do whatever they want. They can offer any player anything they want. I think Bears GM Ryan Poles (who came from Kansas City) will still operate wisely, but I don't think he'll hesitate to pay over market value for players in order to get them to Chicago.

Free agency is going to be critical for the Bears in 2023, and a player like Dre'Mont Jones could be the centerpiece of their overall haul. The Bears could afford to give Dre'Mont Jones a $100 million contract with 2/3 of it guaranteed, if that's what he wants. The Broncos could, too, but have they drawn a line in the sand?

The Bears don't give off any sort of "line in the sand" types of vibes right now. They appear very ready to spend a lot of money, and if Dre'Mont Jones became available, I think they would be among the teams most interested in stealing him away from the Broncos.

This would/will be a brutal loss for the Denver defense if it happens. Perhaps the Broncos are confident that they could go out and sign someone like Zach Allen to "replace" Dre'Mont Jones at a fraction of the cost. Perhaps they have other ideas in mind. Whatever the case, I think while the Broncos have stated they would like to see Dre'Mont Jones back, they obviously aren't desperate to have him stay.
