Back at the NFL Combine last month, Bears general manager Ryan Pace was asked what he wanted to see in terms of offensive growth from his team in 2019. His response was telling:
“I think we’re an exciting offense to watch and I think we’ve got a lot of pieces that can do a lot of different things and that’s only going to grow in Year 2,” Pace said. “Now from a personnel standpoint, do we need to add to that? Yes. Do we want to get faster and more explosive? Yes. And that’s our challenge.”
The Bears will get faster more explosive on offense with the addition of Cordarrelle Patterson, who is reportedly expected to sign a two-year, $10 million deal with the Bears on Wednesday when the new league year begins.
