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.

Ted Larsen returned to the Bears after two seasons with the Dolphins. He brought with him the ability to serve as insurance on what was believed to be a solid Bears offensive line. Following an injury to right guard Kyle Long, Larson was expected to fill in for him. While Larsen got the start in Week 4, it didn’t take long for Rashaad Coward to take Larsen’s spot in relief of Long for the remainder of the 2019 season.

Verdict: Larsen was signed to provide depth at guard and insurance in case things went south for Chicago’s offensive line. While Larsen started Week 4 at right guard, he served in a reserve role for the duration of the 2019 season. Given the Bears don’t have depth in the middle of the offensive line, re-signing Larsen makes sense.
