Top 5 Free Agent Targets for Bears After the 2024 NFL Draft – NBC Sports Chicago

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the upcoming NFL season after completing the draft and assessing their roster needs. With GM Ryan Poles at the helm, the team is looking to fill any remaining gaps in their lineup with strategic free agent signings.

While the Bears have made significant improvements to their skill positions and secondary, they are focusing on bolstering their offensive and defensive lines. With limited cap space available, the team is not expected to make any big splashes in the free agent market.

Potential targets for the Bears include defensive end Rasheem Green, who could provide depth and special teams contributions. Guard Phil Haynes, with experience in Shane Waldron’s offensive scheme, could add competition and mentorship on the interior line.

Veteran defensive tackle Linval Joseph is also on the radar, offering leadership and support for younger players like Gervon Dexter. Yannick Ngakoue, who had a shortened season due to injury, could return to boost the pass rush alongside rookie Austin Booker.

Lastly, Rakeem Nunez-Roches brings versatility and experience to the defensive line, having previously been selected by Poles during his time with the Chiefs. These potential signings could further solidify the Bears’ roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
