4 players that Bears could lose to free agency

The Bears would certainly like to re-sign their in-house free agents, but there’s a chance that they lose some key pieces this offseason.

Danny Trevathan was playing some of his best football before suffering a gruesome elbow injury that ultimately held him out for the final seven games. While Trevathan has proven to be a valuable asset for the Bears over the last four years. But he’s also 30 years old with a history of injuries. Trevathan has missed 16 games since signing with the Bears prior to the 2015 season.

While the Bears are reportedly making Nick Kwiatkoski their top free agent priority, there’s no guarantee that they’ll ultimately be able to afford him. If the Bears can’t get lock up Kwiatkoski for an extension, Chicago could look to re-sign Trevathan for a cheaper price.
