The Bears certainly got a deal signing safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to a one-year “prove it” deal worth $3 million in 2019. But given Clinton-Dix’s solid season, there will certainly be other suitors knocking on the doors of free agency.

After extending All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowl safety Eddie Jackson to a massive four-year contract extension, the Bears can’t afford to re-sign Clinton-Dix if he’s looking for a payday. More than that, Clinton-Dix occupied the free safety position in 2019, which forced Jackson to strong safety where he wasn’t as productive. If the Bears look to free agency or the NFL Draft for an affordable strong safety, Jackson can return to free safety where he was a force in his first two seasons.
