With the 2014 season now in the rearview for the Chicago Bears, it’s time to start looking at the current roster construction and make decisions for the future.
As of Black Monday, the Bears have 21 unrestricted free agents, three exclusive-rights free agents and roughly $30 million to spend in the offseason, according to Spotrac.
Earlier in the week, we looked at Chicago’s biggest needs in free agency and suggested a few players to target when the league year begins. Then we looked ahead to the 2015 NFL draft and projected out all six of the Bears’ selections. Now it’s time to make some decisions on the 24 free agents and clean up some mistakes by shedding some existing contracts.
The new general manager and head coach definitely will have their work cut out for them. So let’s do our best to give them a hand. Here’s a list of who the Bears should look to retain and who they should move on from.
