Ryan Poles should be aggressive in free agency, but more importantly, he needs to be calculated, writes BradBiggs.
The Chicago Bears will finally hit their bye week after Sunday’s meeting with the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field, a chance to recharge for the stretch run, four games at the end of a season that — when it kicked off — was about building for the future.
It’s a good time to offer a reminder that the Bears spent the 2010s attempting to build the roster and fill many core positions through free agency. They hit with defensive linemen such as Julius Peppers and Akiem Hicks and found some other nice players in Willie Young, Jermon Bushrod and Danny Trevathan. But the list of players whose production didn’t come near to matching their pay is too long to list.
All four are under contract through 2023, but this looms as the first place Poles should consider investing some of the bounty of cap space if he identifies some or all of them as building blocks who can help lead the franchise moving forward. Johnson started the season playing at a high level before missing three games with a quad injury. More recently he has battled an oblique injury but has been on the field and is easily the team’s most consistent cornerback at a position where Poles will need to add in the offseason.
