Chicago Bears: Potential free agent adds from Philadelphia Eagles
By Ryan Heckman
Defensive End Chris Long
Chris Long has been there and done that. He’s played on the biggest stage. He’s won on the biggest stage. At this point, the 34-year-old has to be thinking about teaming up with his brother Kyle Long.
For Long to come to the Bears, he would have little pressure of being a full-time guy. Sure, the Bears don’t have a surefire stud to start opposite of Akiem Hicks, but they’ve shuffled around a few guys to make it work. Long would be a perfect player to add into the rotation.

The Bears are within a Super Bowl window, and free agents have to know it. Long has been in the big game with both the New England Patriots and the Eagles. Why not give it a shot with a third team? That would be quite the feat.
Over his 11-year NFL career, Long has accumulated 70.0 sacks, playing for the (then) St. Louis Rams, Patriots and Eagles. I think it would be a perfect ending to a phenomenal career to come on over to Chicago, join his brother Kyle, and make one more run at a Super Bowl title.
