Locked On Bears - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bears

Every bit of Chicago Bears stadium news is a push for more leverage from both Indiana and Illinois, and we need to stop overreacting to each development.

Plus, the Bears need to be proactive in continuing to invest in players for Ben Johnson's offense, without making major changes.

The Chicago Bears have plenty of needs to address this offseason, but the defensive line needs to be the top priority for Ryan Poles.

Defensive end and defensive tackle both need significant investment to solve the weakness on the roster.

The Chicago Bears will have to make some difficult decisions and let some of their top young free agents walk away and sign with other teams.

Ryan Poles shouldn't overspend to keep players that still have question marks like Nahshon Wright and Jaquan Brisker.

The Chicago Bears have over 25 players set to hit NFL free agency, but only a handful should be priorities for Ryan Poles to re-sign.

It shouldn't be too expensive either, putting the Bears in a good position to have some salary cap flexibility this offseason.

The Chicago Bears aren't ready to go all-in on Maxx Crosby. They can't afford to mortgage their future for the Raiders star pass rusher.

If Las Vegas makes Crosby available, teams will get in a bidding war for him, and he's not worth the investment right now for the Bears.

The Chicago Bears need to create significant salary cap space this offseason, and it's going to require more than just some simple roster cuts.
Ryan Poles will need to restructure the contracts of current players, but it's a dangerous mechanism he needs to be careful with.

The Chicago Bears need to clear salary cap space this offseason, and Ryan Poles has several players he could cut or trade to make more room.

It's not an easy decision, though, even for expensive players like linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who still offers plenty of value.

The injuries the Chicago Bears suffered late in the season will make free agency and the NFL Draft a lot more complicated for Ryan Poles.

It's hard for him to address the defensive line and left tackle with injured players still recovering and at risk of missing regular season games.
