Bears free agency target: Malik Jackson

Arguably the biggest need for the Chicago Bears is a five technique defensive end for their 3-4 scheme.

Building their defense was never going to be a one-year undertaking but considering the state of the roster, Ryan Pace did an admirable job bringing in a number of players on one-year deals in order to field a 3-4.

That meant players like Jarvis Jenkins and Mitch Unrein were brought in as stop gaps while players like Will Sutton and Ego Ferguson moved to positions that they had never played before.
