The Bears have quietly (and not so quietly) had a very good offseason. Many of the moves that new GM Phil Emery made were under-the-radar additions, except for Brandon Marshall, who was easily the best addition of the offseason for Chicago.
GM Jerry Angelo was fired, in large part due to his draft record. But it also had to do with his not having an adequate backup to Jay Cutler. So Phil Emery went out and grabbed Jason Campbell, who should be able to actually win a couple games if he has to.
In all, it was a very good offseason for the Bears, who, despite a tough division, are right in the thick of the Super Bowl chase.
But not everything that happened this offseason was positive. That’s true of all NFL teams. The draft, meanwhile, will take time to determine, but the Bears still have some critical gaps that were not addressed, such as the offensive line.
So let’s take a look at the Bears’ top offseason moves, both good and bad, and see what’s in store for our team this season. (NOTE: these are not listed in any kind of order.)
