INDIANAPOLIS — The Bears' greatest needs for 2019, right now, are special teams, safety, cornerback, tight end and running back, in that order, and with the operative phrase being right now.
While there may be as much or more talk about running back or tight end as the other spots, that the Bears do not currently have starters at strong safety, nickel corner, placekicker, punter or long snapper under contract has to dictate those needs, and the first adjustment to the list will come when we know what Chicago's plans are for its own free agents.
