Bears Offseason Preview

This is a preview of the Bears offseason.
QB- Jay Cutler is without a doubt considered a franchise quarterback. Without him they were pathetic, so they need to protect him better. They need to find a veteran quarterback in free agency to add depth.
RB- The Bears HAVE to resign Matt Forte no matter what. Outside of Cutler he is the offense so they shouldn't low ball with a pathetic offer. With Marion Barber signed there for another year there depth isn't a problem.
WR- This is an area where the Bears were many young receivers, but no true #1 receiver. None of them are big receivers, so look for the Bears in the mid to early rounds to draft a big receiver to help cutler in the red zone.
TE- They have no TE since they traded Greg Olson. Look for them in to the draft to draft a receiving tight end since all the ones on the roster are blocking tight ends.
OL- This o-line was much improved compared to last year, however it seemed to play better compared to Caleb Hanie. Outside of Gabe Carimi any of the starters can be replaced expect the Bears to help improve this line especially the interior.
DL- This d-line has been one of the best in the NFL. Israel Idonije is a key free agent and should be expected to be back. All they need to do is add depth from the draft.
LB- The duo of Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs has been the best duo of linebackers in the past 5 years. However they have never truly found a player at the strongside linebacker. They will create competition through free agency and the guys on their roster.
DB- One of the more underrated secondaries in the NFL after the change they made at safety. Tim Jennings is a key free agent and it depends on the market if he comes back. The safeties are set with Conte and Wright. If they can't bring back Jennings look for them to find a cornerback in the mid rounds to create competition for the spot opposite Charles Tillman.
