NFL free agency is set to officially begin on March 10, and the Chicago Bears are currently in the process of narrowing down their list of free-agent targets.
As general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox go through their list of potential targets, they are likely taking an exhaustive look at each player’s pros and cons.
“We’ll be calculated,” Pace said about the team’s approach to free agency, via Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune. “In a perfect world, you address a lot of your needs in free agency to open up the draft for best player available.”
According to Over the Cap, the Bears have $28,827,772 of cap space available after the salary cap was increased to $143.28 million this past Monday, and Pace is willing to be aggressive if he needs to be.
“If there is a player that we know can upgrade us right now, we’ll attack it,” Pace said at the combine, via Wiederer.
With roughly a week left to evaluate the pros and cons of each big-name target, Pace and Fox have little time left to formulate their plan for free agency.
If the pros outweigh the cons, the following big-name free agents could be in play for the Bears when free agency opens next Tuesday.
