adam Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM Here are the Bears Free Agents heading into the offseason. Counting Special Teams, the Bears have 5 starters that are UFAs. Daly and Duvernay are low salaries guys that can be brought back with little cap considerations. So that leaves Brisker, Byard, and Wright. Out of those 3, I would bring back Byard, he should be the cheapest of the 3 and gives you the most in terms of performance and leadership. Brisker played a great game against the Rams but is too big of an injury risk with his concussion history. Wright started out on fire, then got burnt for the back half of the season. Unrestricted Free Agents S Jaquan Brisker - Injury risk, pass S Kevin Byard - I would resign to a 2-yr deal, team leader, still playing at a high level CB Nashon Wright - subtract the INTs and you have a bad DB LS Scott Daly - resign to near vet min deal WR Devin Duvernay - resign to near vet min deal, unless you think you can get more out of this position DL Andrew Billings - gone, old, fat, and slow. CB Elijah Hicks - If signed will be for near league min deal RB Travis Homer - If signed will be for near league min deal LB D'Marco Jackson - I would resign him if you are playing on keeping DA, Jackson played well as the next man up OT Braxton Jones - cant see them resigning him DB Jaylon Jones - If signed will be for near league min deal QB Case Keenum - Bring him back if you think he can still provide guidance, with Caleb entering Year 3, might not be needed anymore CB Nick McCloud - Please don't resign this turnstile, contributed directly to at least 3 of the Bears losses S Jonathan Owens - Meh Edge Dominique Robinson - Never consistent enough TE Durham Smythe - Solid TE3 Edge Joe Tryon-Shoyinka - Made a couple of plays, doubt you have money for rotational Edges over league min DL Chris Williams - DT Room needs an upgrade from top to bottom WR Olamide Zaccheaus - Impressed in training camp and early on, then fell off a cliff. Doubt he is back. Restricted/Exclusive-Rights Free Agents LT Theo Benedet - cool story, but depends on the cost Edge Daniel Hardy - ST Specialist, only sign if he is getting ST level money LB Noah Sewell - Injuries and terrible in coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago You add great content to this group always do a good job Adam. One thing I didn't like was your description of Billings - old fat and slow, that describes me. ( Joking ) Definitely Byard, defensive leader and durable. Brisker if signed on a one year prove it deal.( Can stay healthy as AZ suggested) If you bring these two back, you can draft a couple rookies and won't have to count on them right away. For DBs JJ and Gordon will be healthy next year. Stevenson ( I think one more year on contract) , Blackwell and Terrell Smith will be back. So Wright is optional if they think will get better. Also Zak Fraiser comes back but who knows how good he is. At LB, Edwards was just given a new contract last year but Edmunds being traded or cut will leave a spot opened. I think D Jackson will be resigned to take over for Edmunds ( cheaper) . Amen and Hyppolite are still on the roster. Got nothing out of Hyppolite but players are developed so maybe next year a lot better. Not sure why anyone would think DA is a question, I think he did very well considering all the injuries, no continuity. You add a pass rush and that makes his job a lot easier. Gardener -Johnson doesn't handle speed very well but is a physical player. Anyone think he can play SS? . Maybe him instead of Brisker? Just thinking out loud. The only DL I think may come back is Joe Tryon-S. On limited snaps he made some plays and was in NO when DA was there. Booker, Sweat Dayo and Turner, so if in a cheap deal for depth. Everyone wants Crosby but I think Symmons from Tennessee would be a great addition if we have to pay a big contract. I think we draft 2 DTs and one edge.

Here are the top FA Edge options: Adafe Oweh - 28, 7.5 sacks, 48.7% of snaps Trey Hendrickson - 32, 4 sacks, 26% of snaps Khalil Mack - 35, 5.5 sacks, 41.7% of snaps Joey Bosa - 31, 5 sacks, 57.2% of snaps Jacob Martin - 31, 5.5 sacks, 61.5% of snaps Jihad Ward - 32, 5 sacks, 66.7% of snaps Jaelan Phillips - 27, 5 sacks, 74.5% of snaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
