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

Kevin Pierre-Louis went from unknown reserve linebacker to one of the Bears’ most productive defensive players in the winding weeks of the 2019 season. Pierre-Louis shined in relief of the injured Roquan Smith in the final four games, where he had 28 tackles and one interception. Suddenly, the Bears have an important decision to make regarding the status of pending free agent Pierre-Louis.

Verdict: Despite an early-season blunder that cost the Bears a win, Pierre-Louis redeemed himself with his late-season performance in relief of an injured Roquan Smith. While Pierre-Louis is set to hit free agency once again, the Bears would do well to re-sign him as insurance at inside linebacker.
