If the Chicago Bears want to move on from their disappointing 2014 season, they will need to make a statement in free agency this offseason.
For the Bears to essentially “win” the offseason, they will need to have a solid blueprint in place to help them attack free agency when it officially begins on March 10.
In order to be prepared to attack once free agency begins, general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox have been evaluating their roster and determining how to fix it.
“It’s kind of a clean-slate, start-fresh (approach),” Fox said at the NFL Scouting Combine last month, via Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune. “We’ve got to analyze everything.”
The biggest priorities for Pace and Fox in free agency will be to add depth, youth and players with upside at key positions like safety and inside linebacker and along the defensive line. Even though the team’s biggest struggles were on defense the last two seasons, there are still some needs on the offensive side of the football.
There is no guarantee the Bears will be able to address all their needs via free agency, but with a good blueprint in place, they may be able to come away from the free-agency period as one of the league’s “winners.”
Here is the Chicago Bears’ blueprint for winning free agency this offseason.
