As I wrote the last time I attempted this, trying to determine the Bears‘ roster at this point is always a challenge. But given the lockout, it’s downright insane.
Nevertheless, it is a challenge that I am up for, Bears fans. Now, admittedly, there have to be some assumptions made in order for this not to become an exercise in futility.
For one, there will be a season. And I do believe that, although how much of a season is a fair question. Also, whether there will be a training camp and pre-season is very much in flux at this point.
Why does this matter? For two reasons.
First, it gives coaches less time to figure out which draft picks and new players are worth keeping; and two, it may give much less time to sort through potential free agents.
Which brings us to our second assumption: that there will be free agency and that the Bears will be active participants.
Yes, despite the solid first and second round draft picks, the Bears have unfulfilled needs which must be addressed with free agent signings.
Recognizing all that, here we go.
