As the Chicago Bears get ready for 2020 NFL Free Agency, what are some free agents the team could add from the AFC East?

With NFL Free Agency officially starting this week, the Chicago Bears are expected to be active and will look to add free agents that can help plug up some roster holes. Currently, the Bears have holes at positions such as defensive end and right guard.

Then there are positions such as wide receiver and cornerback, where the Bears don’t have a glaring need but they could still benefit from adding talent to the position in an effort to create competition or bring in someone to upgrade the position.

The key thing to keep in mind is this: Even with the NFL agreeing to a new CBA and the Bears seeing a jump in their cap space, the Bears still only have so much money. That means the team will need to get creative when it comes to adding talent this offseason.

However, despite having limited salary cap space, if General Manager Ryan Pace plays his cards right, he could see the Bears add talent at certain positions that would be underrated additions or merely upgrades over the players at those respective positions from either 2018 or 2019.

If there is one thing that free agency can allow the Bears to do, it’s adding depth to the roster. The AFC East has a plethora of names such as Shaq Lawson, Brian Poole, and Evan Boehm that the Bears could consider adding.

With NFL Free Agency officially here, what are some names that the Bears could explore adding on the open market that played in the AFC East last year? Additionally, for each of the names listed, what are potential contracts each could sign? Let’s break it all down.

Chicago is one of the best sports towns in the world. So which Chicago Sports moments are the greatest since the year 1990?

When you think of great sports towns in the United States of America, Chicago has to be right up there. They have five professional sports men’s teams that play the four major sports of baseball, hockey, football, and basketball. The Chicago White Sox, Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago Cubs are the five Chicago Sports teams that make up this great landscape.

Only the Bears have not won their league’s championship since the year 1990. Every other team has combined for a total of 11 championships which is a remarkable 30 year stretch for the city. None of those eleven championships came in the same year either, which is sort of remarkable in its own right. There have been some great moments throughout Chicago history, and the sports landscape is no different.

Chicago has had some downright awful moments as well. It is a part of sports to win some and lose some. There was a long time where it seemed like nobody would ever win again but that really all changed quickly. To go with some of those awesome winning seasons, have been some great players and managers. Things might seem like they are on the downright now with most of the teams, but there is plenty of ways to turn that all around.

This is a town that is loaded with passionate sports fans. It shows at regular season and playoff games along with large attendance for championship parades. Everyone is looking for a positive in their life so it is good to reflect on some of those good times. These are the five greatest moments from Chicago sports from the year 1990-2020.

The Chicago Bears might need to bring in a veteran quarterback to compete with Mitchell Trubisky for the 2020 starting job.

The Chicago Bears were 8-8 in 2019. It honestly felt like it was a 4-12 season because of the fact that they were expected to be a Super Bowl contender. It was painful to watch all year long as their defense was still awesome. As good as their defense was, their offense couldn’t score enough points to take advantage of their awesome defense. They have a few weapons on offense but one thing was clear about the reason they were so bad.

The quarterback is the most important position in sports. Pitchers in baseball and goaltenders in hockey have a good argument but no team can get it done with a bad quarterback. When you look at all of the recent Super Bowl winners, most of them, if not all of them have a quarterback that was able to be above average or better. There is, in all likelihood, not a Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady available to them this year but that is not what they need with this roster.

They need a guy who will come in and help lead them just enough for the defense to take over. The defense was on the field way too much in 2019 and it made them regress just a little bit. Their turnover rate was down but they were still very good at keeping the opposition from scoring a lot of points. There are a few options for this Bears team to go after this offseason that might be able to help. Mitchell Trubisky is still there, but they need someone to come in and push him and be there to take over if necessary.

They do not have a first-round pick so trading up to get Joe Burrow or Tua Tagovailoa is not an option. They could draft a guy like Jalen Hurts or Jake Fromm in the second round but it seems that free agency might be the route. This is a ranking of the top three free-agent quarterbacks the Bears should go after:
