LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks seems at peace with playing out the final year of his contract.
"I think you're always betting on yourself," Hicks said Thursday. "I think you're always saying to yourself, man, I'm going to do really good this year. I'm going to get a million sacks, I'm going to get a million tackles and I'm unstoppable. That's the way you approach every year and I think if you come back from that and you start putting restrictions on yourself then you're not going to get what you ultimately want.
