5 Former Bears Among Candidates for 2025 Hall of Fame Class

3. Jared Allen, DE 2014-2015

Allen only played two seasons with the Bears as they were transitioning to a 3-4 defense at the time that did not suit his play style. This was part of the Trestman era that any Bears fan will politely tell you to shut up when brought up.

While he will obviously be remembered most for his days in Minnesota, he was a member of the Bears so he makes the list. He ranks 12th all-time in sacks with 136, but only 7.5 coming with the Bears. He was a four-time First-Team All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowler, and led the NFL in sacks twice.

Allen may not go in as a Bear, but he might be the biggest lock of this list to make the Hall. Everyone above him on the all-time sacks list has been inducted minus Terrell Suggs (also a nominee) and there are plethora of guys under him that have made it as well.
