For a sneak preview of what the upcoming Bears’ offseason will look like, simply flip back to what they did a year ago.
It’s going to get reckless.
It’s easy to imagine general manager Ryan Pace selling off draft picks and outbidding himself on free agents because we’ve already seen it.
In a similar win-or-get-fired scenario — or so everyone thought — last offseason, freewheeling Pace gave pass rusher Robert Quinn a five-year, $70 million deal, signed tight end Jimmy Graham to a two-year, $16 million contract after he spent two weeks floating in free agency with no takers and delivered the double whammy of giving up a fourth-round pick and committing to three years, $24 million to reel in quarterback Nick Foles.
