The Bears have their eyes on a solid and perhaps underrated defensive addition. That defensive bolstering arrives in the form of former Chiefs linebacker Anthony Hitchens, who visited the Halas Hall on Tuesday — reports the Chicago Tribune’s, Brad Biggs.
Hitchens, 29, spent the last four seasons in Kansas City, where he was a vital member of a Super Bowl LIV-winning team. Before that, the veteran linebacker made his hay in Dallas. It is there where he first met Chicago head coach Matt Eberflus, who coached the Cowboys’ linebackers from 2011 to 2017. At the risk of any jinx, it’s not a stretch to say that an old connection might do the Bears well to bring in some needed defensive depth.
