Go old, young man.
Maybe that’s the advice Bears general manager Ryan Pace (age 43) got from top brass, meaning someone in the McCaskey hierarchy. Maybe he got it from principal owner Virginia McCaskey (age 97) herself.
Pace’s young guys, the ones he drafted, have turned out to be duds at an alarming, uh, pace. So the obvious cover is to go after fellows such as 33-year-old tight end Jimmy Graham — who agreed to terms Monday and was Hall of Fame-great in, let’s see, 2014 — and pray the oldsters fill in the blanks.
The shift also would include veteran defensive end Robert Quinn, 29, who comes in from the Cowboys as outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, 27, goes out.
