Chicago Bears 2017 Roster Turnover: Should they get another outside linebacker?

Pernell McPhee - Signed through 2019 - McPhee hasn’t played a full 16 game season since joining the Chicago Bears. His 2015 knee injury lingered into the 2016 season and he started the year on the PUP list. After a solid start to his Bears career, he struggled down the stretch in 2015 and he only played in nine games last year, averaging 30 snaps per contest.

McPhee brings the right attitude and a violent style of play, but he has a lot to prove in 2017.

Leonard Floyd - Signed through 2019, with a 5th year option in 2020 - Floyd fought through a few injury issues as a rookie, but he still ended with a solid campaign.
