By the last week of the 2015 season, the Bears were starting players on the defensive line that they had picked off the waiver wire throughout the season. Greg Scruggs, Mitch Unrein, and D’Anthony Smith were the three starting D-linemen for the Bears by the end of 2015. If you haven’t heard of them, don’t feel bad… most NFL fans haven’t either.
Unrein will be part of the 2016 Bears, but ideally not as a starter and hopefully the Bears will have more talent on the d-line by week one of this season. I’ve already covered one starter, NT Eddie Goldman, and will cover the options for the other two starting positions on the defensive line spots below.
