Chicago Bears: 4 players who could lose their job in 2020

Going into the 2020 season, most Chicago Bears starters are locked in. But, could a handful of them lose their jobs at some point?

I think we saw a very clear strategy from Chicago Bears general manager this offseason. At a couple of key positions, Pace made it known that he was going to add both veterans as well as rookies, hoping to see a mesh of talent bring structure to a position of weakness.

Take cornerback, for example. The Bears signed CFL standout Tre Roberson and veteran Artie Burns. Meanwhile, they drafted Jaylon Johnson and Kindle Vildor back in April. Pace is serious about not only solidifying the second starting cornerback, but also building depth there.

Another great illustration of this philosophy is at outside linebacker. Pace paid up for outside linebacker Robert Quinn, who should make this front seven even scarier. But, he also traded up to draft Trevis Gipson out of Tulane.

Pace did this very same thing at both tight end and wide receiver, too, with the veterans Jimmy Graham and Ted Ginn Jr. accompanied by rookies Cole Kmet and Darnell Mooney.

It was an intriguing strategy, but at all of those positions, the Bears had a need — so, Pace went with a little bit of the old and new.

Many of these spots could see some changes in terms of starters. There are certainly some players who will start the season atop the depth chart, but will that last?

The easy one might be the handsome fella you see pictured above, but that’s too easy. Of course Mitchell Trubisky will ultimately be replaced by Nick Foles — did I just strike a nerve with some of you?

I digress. Let’s look at a few players who could see themselves drop down the depth chart as the 2020 season rages on.
