Bears roster 2020: Upgrades, downgrades, or level moves for each defensive and special teams unit

We surveyed every unit on the Bears D/ST to decide if they project to be better or worse in 2020, or if we can expect more of the same.

Safeties

Gained:

  • S Tashaun Gipson

Lost:

  • S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
  • S Jordan Lucas (COVID-19 opt-out)

While the Bears lost Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to free agency, it was almost for the best considering two-time Pro-Bowler Eddie Jackson is moving back to free safety this season. Jackson moved to strong safety last year to accommodate Clinton-Dix, but he didn’t have the same impact playmaking wise in 2019. That should change with him moving back to free safety with veteran Tashaun Gipson and Deon Bush battling it out for the strong safety job.

The verdict: No change
