Best Jaquan Brisker Replacements To Watch At Draft Combine
About this episode
The Chicago Bears have bigger needs on paper — but safety might be the most overlooked position heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.
With Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker hitting free agency, Chicago currently has ZERO starting safeties under contract.
In this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down 5 must-watch safeties at the NFL Combine:
• Caleb Downs (Ohio State)
• Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (Toledo)
• Dillon Thieneman (Oregon)
• A.J. Haulcy (LSU)
• Kamari Ramsey (USC)
Should the Bears draft a safety early?
Is replacing Brisker smarter long-term?
Or should Poles invest cap space elsewhere?
