Former Georgia Bulldogs star running back D'Andre Swift is coming off of a solid 2024 NFL season with the Chicago Bears. However, there are some questioning whether or not he will end up being back in 2025.
Swift finished the 2024 season with 959 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 253 carries, an average of 3.8 yards per carry. He also caught 42 passes for 386 yards, although he did not have a receiving touchdown.
At 26 years old, Swift is still a high-impact player. Despite that fact, a new prediction has the Bears moving on from Swift via a trade.
Moe Moton of Bleacher Report has predicted that the former Georgia star will be traded by the Bears to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round pick.
"Instead of overpaying for a top free-agent running back who could command an eight-figure yearly salary, Las Vegas can acquire Swift for a Day 3 pick. With this trade, the Raiders can wait to draft a ball-carrier in a strong running back class, even if they like Ashton Jeanty."
Landing with the Raiders would not be a bad destination if Swift was traded. He would instantly be the lead back in Las Vegas and could end up receiving an even bigger role than he had with Chicago last season.

It will be interesting to see what the Bears decide to do with Swift. Moving him would be a bit of a surprise, but it's certainly an option. Swift is far from being an untouchable player in Chicago.
Expect to hear a lot of rumors leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, which is scheduled to begin on April 24.
