The Chicago Bears signed former Houston Texan’s starter Quintin Demps in free agency hoping to help the safety position. Demps has been in the league since 2008 and while he had a decent season last year, he is not getting any younger. He’s a temporary solution to a larger problem.
It might have been the dream of many Bears’ fans to get Kansas City Chief safety Eric Berry. But, it wasn’t meant to be as Berry signed a huge contract extension with Kansas City, taking him off the market. With Demps not being a long-term answer, and not too many other prospects left in free agency, the Bears will want to turn to the 2017 NFL to help solve their problems at safety.
