The Bears brought in Lucas to compete for the starting strong safety spot opposite Pro Bowler Eddie Jackson. Lucas was brought in just a couple days after Chicago re-signed safety Deon Bush.

Right now, Bush appears to have the advantage when it comes to landing the starting job opposite Jackson. But expect Lucas, who is on a one-year prove-it deal, to get a shot at the starting gig. Although, he might also be competing against a rookie, as the Bears are expected to draft a safety.
