5 causes for concern for Bears in 2020

The Bears are expected to make plenty of moves this offseason. But there are reasons to be cautious about the Bears heading into 2020.

2. Leonard Floyd’s lack of production off the edge

Leonard Floyd hasn’t been a complete disappointment. But he’s been a disappointment as a No. 9 overall draft selection. Chicago picked up Floyd’s fifth-year option last year, and if they keep him on the roster he serves to make $13.2 million in 2020.

Floyd has shown that he can get after the quarterback — including a career-high 12 quarterback hits in 2019 — but he’s struggled converting those into sacks. After starting the season with two sacks against the Packers, Floyd managed just one sack in the final 15 games. The Bears pass rush struggled last season, and they really need someone opposite Khalil Mack that can take advantage of those one-on-one opportunities.

The Good News? While the sacks haven’t been there, Floyd does have a penchant for pressuring the quarterback…which is better than not getting close at all.
