3. Leonard Floyd will be a part of the team in 2020

One of the many question marks heading into the offseason is what would the team do regarding outside linebacker Leonard Floyd. After picking up his fifth-year option for 2020 last spring worth over $13 million, Floyd responded with arguably his worst season as a pro. He only had three sacks and three tackles for losses, both career lows despite starting all 16 games. Pace, however, said he was pleased with the former Georgia Bulldog’s production.

“We’re happy with Leonard,” he said. “I know the stats don’t always say that but Leonard does a lot of things that I think maybe goes undervalued.”

Pace spoke to his versatility and how well he plays the run, but wouldn’t get into his contract situation. It is possible the Bears try and extend him to lower his cap hit for 2020 while keeping him on the team. But one way or another, it looks like Floyd will be back on the field for the Bears next season.
