A breakdown of the initial wave of free agency for the Chicago Bears:
Overall grade: B. The Bears addressed several needs on paper – wide receiver, cornerback, tight end, backup quarterback and outside linebacker – but free agency is risky. Chicago spent plenty of money, but that doesn’t always translate to success on the field. Remember, the Bears were praised by many for their free-agent haul of Mike Glennon, Marcus Cooper, Markus Wheaton, Quintin Demps and Dion Sims in 2017 -- almost all of whom have been released or brought back at a reduced salary.
