Bears’ top 5 positional needs this free agency

With free agency just about a month away, the Bears have plenty of needs they could address at the start of the new league year.

The Bears need to address depth concerns in their defensive backfield this offseason. Cornerback Prince Amukamara figures to be a cap-casualty — as he’s due to free up $9 million in cap space — and the Bears will be looking for someone to line up opposite Kyle Fuller. Whether that’s in-house with Kevin Toliver or through the NFL Draft, free agency also has some cornerbacks hitting the open market, including Kyle’s brother Kendall Fuller.

Safety is also a need for the Bears, who could lose two safeties to free agency in Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Deon Bush. If the Bears don’t re-sign Clinton-Dix, they’ll need to find someone to line up opposite newly-extended safety Eddie Jackson, preferably at strong safety. Someone like Anthony Harris would allow Jackson to return to his natural position at free safety.
