The offseason is in full swing, and we’re just a couple months away from the start of the new league year and free agency. And the Bears have some important decisions to make when it comes to in-house free agents.

It’s impossible for the Bears to keep everyone — especially considering their salary cap situation, where they currently have just over $7 million in available cap space, according to Over The Cap.

But there are some players that the Bears should let walk this offseason, whether that’s due to injury concerns or monetary reasons.

Here are four free agents that the Bears shouldn’t re-sign this offseason:

1. ILB Danny Trevathan

Danny Trevathan has been a staple of this Bears defense in the last four years, but with three inside linebackers due up for contract extensions in Chicago, Trevathan is likely the odd man out. Trevathan was playing some of his best football with the Bears before he suffered a gruesome elbow injury that essentially ended his season. Injuries have been Trevathan’s downfall, as he’s missed 16 games since joining the Bears prior to the 2015 season, including the final seven weeks of 2019.

If not for Nick Kwiatkoski’s impressive performance in Trevathan’s absence, I’d be advocating for the Bears to re-sign Trevathan. But when it comes down to it, Kwiatkoski is the younger, healthier and cheaper option to pair with Roquan Smith in 2020.
