Arguably the biggest loss for the Chicago Bears last season was Eddie Goldman’s absence, which left Chicago without a nose tackle. The Bears brought back a familiar face in John Jenkins, who played a lot of nose tackle alongside Bilal Nichols. Chicago let Jenkins leave in free agency back in 2017, and now they face a similar situation following his one-year stint with the team last year.
Looking ahead to free agency, we’re breaking down every Bears free agent’s 2020 season, including the team’s need at the position and predicting whether they stay or go in free agency.
After looking at wide receiver Allen Robinson, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris, kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson, kicker Cairo Santos, safety Tashaun Gipson, defensive end Brent Urban, offensive lineman Germain Ifedi, safety Deon Bush, defensive end Mario Edwards Jr., safety DeAndre Houston-Carson, punter Pat O’Donnell, and outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo, we’re continuing with Jenkins.
