As Bears fans, we all would like a scenario where Bears GM Jerry Angelo finally gives his QB, Jay Cutler, the weapons he needs to be successful. Another offensive lineman to go with Gabe Carimi and a true No. 1 wide receiver like Sidney Rice.
But those are the best-case scenarios for Chicago. What would be a more pessimistic (and some would say “realistic”) situation for the Bears to find themselves in?
Well, there are two ways to look at this. One is to go with the absolute worst outcome, which would be for the Bears to start the season without acquiring any outside free agents, while losing all of their own.
