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.

RB Mike Davis

There was a lot of hype surrounding the addition of Mike Davis, who was being touted as a possible replacement for Jordan Howard, who was traded to the Eagles shortly after. Davis had never really gotten a chance to be a focal back in his previous stops. The Bears had high hopes for what Davis could bring to their offense. Instead, Davis hardly saw the field (totaling 11 rushes for 25 yards in seven games) and was cut on Nov. 9.

Verdict: Davis never got a chance to become part of a Bears backfield that struggled to get going. Matt Nagy ignored the Bears’ ground game, and Davis never stood a chance once rookie David Montgomery got the workload. At least the Bears were able to better their chances to get a fourth-round compensatory pick by releasing Davis mid-season.
