4 decisions the Bears need to make this offseason

Following a disappointing 2019 season, the Bears have an important offseason ahead of them where they have several issues they need to fix.

2. Will Bears stick with or cut ties with Leonard Floyd?

Looking at the other end of the spectrum in regards to the fifth-year option, the Bears have a decision to make regarding the future of outside linebacker Leonard Floyd. Chicago chose to pick up Floyd’s option last year, and he’s due to make $13.2 million in 2020.

While the Bears remain high on him, Floyd hasn’t lived up to expectations. Floyd has shown that he can get after the quarterback, as evidenced by his career-high 12 quarterback hits in 2019. But Floyd has struggled converting those into sacks. After starting the season with two sacks against the Packers, Floyd managed just one sack in the final 15 games.

The Bears have to ask themselves if that’s the kind of production they’re good with at $13.2 million — or if they’d rather cut their losses and go after a pass rusher in the NFL Draft.
