I’ve seen a lot of people talking about the draft, and potential HC candidates. What about free agency? From my understanding the Bears have a good amount of money to invest in the market this year. Who are your top free agents for the Bears to target? Is it possible they add a pass rusher via free agency due to a weaker draft class in that area this season?

    Here’s the big moves that I see us doing as of 11/16 and reasoning why.

    • I think ESB gets another 1 year deal, Jaylon gets franchised/extended. Mooney likely signs somewhere else. This is likely to be a new coaching staff so could see ESB gone too.

    • We sign one big edge. My guess would be Danielle hunter or chase young if young isn’t extended in SF.

    • We sign a solid center. My best guess is Evan Brown. He’s good, not great, elite ras, and can play both C and guard spots. Elite athletes with positional flexibility are traits poles has liked. He fits well and won’t break the bank. This is a spot we pair with a 3rd or early 4th round guy.

    • We sign a solid Free safety after Eddie is cut to save money. Lot of options here, won’t even imagine who it is. But similar to center I see us drafting a guy in the 3rd/4th and signing a solid 2nd/3rd wave guy to play for a year or so while he develops.

    • QB drafted with our first pick, WR with our second first rounder. Fields traded for a 2nd.

    • BPA in the 2nd likely to be OL or DL.

    • a 3 and 2 4s turn into a Center, safety, and a 2nd drafted wr.

    Depth in the 5th and later.
