It has been an offseason full of changes for the Chicago Bears ever since the organization opted to fire general manager Phil Emery and head coach Marc Trestman in late December.
Now that Ryan Pace is in place as general manager and John Fox has been hired as head coach, the Bears can start focusing on free agency and particularly on which of their own players deserve to be re-signed.
Team consultant Ernie Accorsi made it clear the biggest thing Pace needs to do in his first offseason as general manager is to make the right judgments on his roster.
“The business is the matter of judgment,” Accorsi said, via Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune. “You have to be able to make proper judgments on your acquisitions of players and your manipulation of the roster.”
According to NFL.com, the Bears have 12 players set to become unrestricted free agents this offseason. While it appears pretty unlikely that guys like backup wide receiver Josh Morgan, tight ends Dante Rosario and Zach Miller or kicker Jay Feely will remain on the roster, there are still many questions surrounding guys like defensive tackle Stephen Paea, linebacker Lance Briggs and cornerback Charles Tillman.
Here is who we think stays and who goes in free agency for the Chicago Bears this offseason.
