3. What is the plan with Leonard Floyd?
Like Trubisky, the Bears have a decision to make about Leonard Floyd. The only thing is, his is more pressing at the current moment given Floyd is due to make $13.2 million in conjunction with his fifth-year option.
Floyd was able to stay healthy, and he had a career-high 12 quarterback hits in 2019. But he’s struggled converting those into sacks, which the Bears pass rush struggled with overall last season. After starting the season with two sacks against the Packers, Floyd managed just one sack in the final 15 games.
Chicago needs to ask themselves if they’re content with Floyd opposite Khalil Mack. While the Bears insist they’re confident in Floyd, are they willing to bet $13.2 million on that confidence? Not likely they’ll answer, but it’s a fair question at this point.
