Reviewing the recent interview with Bears general manager Ryan Pace on ChicagoBears.com, here are four things that stood out:
1) The Bears prefer to sign free agents that someone in management or on the coaching staff has previously worked with and knows well.
"When you're signing players who come from clubs that we've been with, it reduces your risk," Pace said.
A perfect example is inside linebacker Danny Trevathan, who inked a four-year contract with the Bears on March 9, the first day of free agency.
