Chicago Bears: Free agent edge rushers to replace Sam Acho
By Ryan Heckman
Terrell Suggs
If Baltimore Ravens legend Terrell Suggs somehow ends up leaving the place he calls home, his next stop very well could be to join forces with Mack in Chicago. The thought of combining forces with the league’s top defense in the Bears might be too tempting to pass up.

The one thing Suggs has to want at this stage in his career is another championship. At 36 years old, he has to be considering hanging the cleats up for good. But, if one more Super Bowl run is deep within him, then the Bears should look to his services at the start of the new league year.
He is, of course, no where near the All Pro he once was. But, as a third pass rusher and savvy veteran, Suggs would make this vaunted defense even better. With 132.5 career sacks in 16 seasons, Suggs knows a thing or two about getting to the quarterback.
Just last season, Suggs finished with a modest 7.0 sacks; his lowest total since missing eight games back in 2012. Entering what could be his last season as a pro, I wouldn’t expect anything marvelous out of the guy, but an entertaining farewell campaign would be fun to watch. Playing alongside the guys on this Bears front seven, I think you could pencil him in for anywhere between 5-to-10 sacks, even as a non-featured pass rusher.
