A look back at Bears’ 2019 free agent class

Before the start of the new league year, let’s take a look back at how the Bears’ 2019 free agent class fared.

While nickelback Buster Skrine had a reputation for costly penalties with the Jets, he proved to fit well in his first year in the Bears’ defensive backfield. Skrine was a cheaper and healthier option than the departed Bryce Callahan, who didn’t play a snap for the Broncos in 2019 as he struggled coming back from injury.

Verdict: Skrine had a solid first year in Chicago, where he excelled as a slot corner in the Bears’ defense. With Prince Amukamara likely done in Chicago (where they can save $9 million in cap space), Skrine can move to the outside if the Bears need him to or continue thriving at nickelback.
