What the Bears can do to “fix” their outside linebacker problem

No plan in the NFL goes 100 percent as planned. Even after the most careful of planning, setbacks can be guaranteed.

This brings us to the Chicago Bears and their current outside linebacker situation.

Their edge depth has been scrutinized long before the 2018 off-season even began, despite seeing a complete overhaul dating back to 2015. With the expected emergence of the young Leonard Floyd, came the departure of several veterans. Gone are the likes of formerly prized free agent signings in Pernell McPhee, Lamarr Houston, and Willie Young.
