There are some players that the Bears should let walk this offseason, whether that’s due to injury concerns or monetary reasons.

The Bears defense is far from the team’s pressing concern this offseason, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas where this team needs to get better. One of those positions is edge rusher, which saw a dip in production in 2019.

While Aaron Lynch has been an affordable option for the Bears (he made $1.5 million in 2019), he was part of the reason why Chicago’s pass rush struggled to get after the quarterback last season. The Bears could certainly turn to the NFL Draft for a younger prospect, who could either replace Leonard Floyd (if the Bears rescind the fifth-year option) opposite Khalil Mack or start his career in a reserve role until Chicago decides what to do with Floyd.
