Chicago Bears: Free agents nobody is talking about

As the 2020 NFL Free Agency gets closer, the Chicago Bears should consider some names nobody is talking about.

With NFL Free Agency right around the corner, the Chicago Bears will need to be smart with how they operate. Everyone wants the team to make big signings to shore up positions such as right guard, quarterback, and tight end.

But with limited salary cap space, the Bears can only do so much. While everyone expects general manager Ryan Pace to get creative, how creative he is willing to get with so many different roster holes? Roster holes are one thing and lack of depth at certain positions is another.

But sometimes, the smart thing for a team to do is to let the dust settle and sign players leftover from the second wave of free agency. But here’s the deal: Just because a player falls to the second wave of free agency, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad. It just means that the player was likely waiting to sign and wanted to let the market play out.

Every year, there are players that have proven that they can be productive, despite the fact that they may not be full-time starters for the upcoming season. In other words, these are players who may be looking to sign one-year prove-it deals in free agency in order to potentially earn a long-term extension.

Or these are players who merely got lost in the pile and were never expected to make top dollar but still have the potential to come in and help a team. These are usually viewed as players a team is willing to take a chance on because it costs them virtually nothing.

With NFL Free Agency right around the corner, what are some names that nobody is talking about that could make sense for the Chicago Bears? Let’s examine some names and find out.
