Free-Agent Contracts Bears Must Consider Before Training Camp

The Chicago Bears have officially reported to camp and begin training at Halas Hall in hopes of improving on their 8-8 campaign from last year.

The primary mode of improvement for the team came in the draft. First-round pick Justin Fields will get his first official work with the veterans after the team traded up to get him, and Teven Jenkins will be expected to make immediate contributions at tackle.

The team was relatively quiet on the free-agent market, though. As one of the many teams that felt the salary-cap space crunch, the Bears were limited to signings such as Damiere Byrd at receiver, Damien Williams at running back and cornerback Desmond Trufant.
