Bears free-agent acquisition Aaron Lynch hopes that a reunion with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will help revitalize the outside linebacker's once promising career.
Lynch had another productive year in 2015 with 6.5 sacks, but his career has since taken a detour. He was suspended for the first four games in 2016 for violating the NFL policy on substance abuse and was a healthy scratch late last year after missing games with a calf injury.
"It was a perfect position for me to be in, it was an important position for me to be with somebody familiar like Vic," Lynch said Friday during a conference call with Chicago reporters.
