One team’s trash could be another team’s treasure. Especially when that trash could address some needs at defensive back.

Ahead of free agency next month, several teams made some cuts at defensive back, which could benefit the Bears that are in the market for some help in the secondary.

With safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix set to become a free agent and with cornerback Prince Amukamara likely to be a cap-casualty, the Bears will have holes to address in the offseason.

Here are three recently-released players that should be on Chicago’s radar heading into free agency.

Josh Norman, cornerback

The Redskins cut former All-Pro and Pro Bowl cornerback Josh Norman on Friday, and the Bears should consider adding Normal to their defensive backfield. Norman is 32 years old and his production has dipped over the last three seasons, where he had 48 pass breakups and nine interceptions.

But Norman would certainly benefit from joining one of the NFL’s best defenses, which features three former All-Pros in Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson and Kyle Fuller. With Prince Amukamara likely on his way out of Chicago, as cutting him would free up $9 million in cap space, Norman is an intriguing veteran option the Bears could pair with Fuller.
