We’ve made it through the early part of free agency, and the Bears have made some big moves. Some are loved — like the addition of pass rusher Robert Quinn — and others not so much — like the signing of tight end Jimmy Graham.
But even after the Bears addressed some needs in free agency at tight end, quarterback and edge rusher, they still have some key positions that need to be addressed through continued free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft.
Here are four positional needs for the Bears following the early wave of free agency:
1. Offensive line
Chicago’s offensive line had its share of struggles in 2019. Considering the amount of money invested into the line, that kind of production was unacceptable. Unfortunately, the Bears appear to be saddled with what they have, minus right guard, for this season.
The Bears failed to address the offensive line in free agency. They still have a vacancy at the right guard spot, following Kyle Long’s retirement. There are still some veteran options on the free agent market Chicago could take a look at, like Ted Larsen or Kevin Pamphile. But it’s most likely that the Bears make offensive line a priority in the NFL Draft.
