After the Bears focused on some needs in free agency at TE, QB and EDGE, they still have some key positions that need to be addressed.

While the Bears have their front seven locked up, there’s more uncertainty in the secondary. Chicago lost safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to free agency, and they need someone to replace him opposite Eddie Jackson.

The Bears currently have two safeties under contract in Jackson and Deon Bush. While Jackson will likely be holding down the free safety position, whether Bush will be starting opposite him remains to be seen. Chicago could turn to the NFL Draft for some options, including guys like Kyle Dugger and Jeremy Chinn.
