The Chicago Bears remain unusually quiet on the free agent market of late. It's been days since they inked Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to his one-year deal. Since then they've made two moves, all of them minor. They re-signed punter Pat O'Donnell and third-string quarterback Tyler Bray. Aside from that? Nothing. It's leading some to wonder if they're doing anything at all.
Of course they are. The simple fact is the free agent market has slowed down after the initial flurry a week ago. There are still plenty of good players out there and the longer it stays that way, the cheaper their prices are likely to become. GM Ryan Pace is playing a careful negotiating tactic, seeing if he can get some of them at the Bears' price.
A name they seem to be playing this tactic with is one of their own in outside linebacker Aaron Lynch. According to Brad Briggs of the Chicago Tribune, there is interest in bringing him back after a decent showing in 2018 that included three sacks and an interception.
"I believe the Bears would like to re-sign the outside linebacker. I would not be surprised if the Broncos and coach Vic Fangio have interest in him as well. One source suggested Lynch was seeking $5 million per season before the start of free agency. He might not get that. We’ll have to see where the market goes for him, but he’s definitely got interest."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m44wgmmywsM
