Chicago Bears: 5 things we know after first wave of free agency
By Ryan Heckman
3. Points will be scored and the jokes will fade.
These will not be the same old Bears, mark my words. Head coach Matt Nagy is too innovative and too smart to let his players fail at putting points on the board.
With the players in place right now, let’s just imagine what the Bears’ offense could look like in 2018:
QB: Mitchell Trubisky
RB: Jordan Howard
RB: Tarik Cohen
WR: Allen Robinson
WR: Cameron Meredith
WR: Taylor Gabriel
TE: Trey Burton
TE: Adam Shaheen
As I have seen thrown around on Twitter lately, “That doesn’t suck.”
Here is just a glimpse of what teams can prepare themselves for when facing Chicago next season.
If the #Bears are looking for a speed complement to their new addition of Allen Robinson, they need to go after Taylor Gabriel. He's only 5'8" but electric with the ball in his hands. pic.twitter.com/PoJXVSsAFi

Good call by Mr. Erik Lambert, as this was tweeted prior to the Gabriel signing.

He might play tight end, but Burton plays like a wide receiver. This is going to be fun.
That stutter step is a thing of beauty.
I’ll stop there. Just remember, the Bears have one of the most dynamic backfields in all of football. Howard is coming off back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons in his first two years and Cohen is one of the most electric players I have seen in a Bears uniform since Devin Hester.
You can tell all your Packer fan friends that the jokes end effective immediately. The 2018 Chicago Bears will be scoring touchdowns, and plenty of them.
