Monday the Chicago Bears moved linebackers Jared Allen and Jon Bostic, both for sixth round picks, which sparked speculation that the Bears had opened the doors to Halas Hall in what appeared to be a “fire sale.”
Simply put… the Bears moved a few square pegs, nothing more.
Jared Allen was the Bears’ “big get” of the 2014 offseason and after a disappointing campaign, fans immediately questioned Allen’s production at his age. After the Bears added new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio the past offseason, the team announced they would be switching to a 3-4 base, moving Allen to an outside linebacker spot.
