The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers don’t need any more reasons to dislike each other, but on Friday they found a new one anyway.
While the preceding context remains unclear, Bears defensive end Montez Sweat took to social media on March 15 to air his grievances with Packers pass rusher Preston Smith and cornerback/kickoff returner Keisean Nixon.
“I done developed a real rivalry with Green Bay blame @PrestonSmith91 and @keiseannixon it’s up 🤬 😈,” Sweat posted to X.
Not long after, Nixon chimed in with slightly more inflammatory comments than those from Smith.
weat’s public declaration of a feud with the Packers based on words and/or actions from Smith and Nixon is interesting, as Sweat is so new to the NFC North Division.
Chicago traded a second-round pick to the Washington Commanders to acquire Sweat in late October 2023, before ultimately signing him to a four-year extension worth $98 million that will keep the edge rusher in the Windy City through the 2027 campaign.
