The blockbuster trade for outside linebacker Khalil Mack instantly made the Chicago Bears relevant in the NFC for the 2018 season. Adding arguably the best defensive player in the NFL to a defense that was ranked 10th in the league last year will definitely strike fear into the hearts of the rest of the teams in the conference. With so much talent on the defensive side of the ball for the Bears, there will be high expectations for this unit to build on last season’s production. However, this upgrade to the defense will put even more pressure on Chicago’s offense going into the regular season.
