However, one NFL executive, as Mike Sando of The Athletic shared, called out the Bears for not addressing their biggest need of an edge rusher this offseason. NFL exec calls out Bears' lack of edge addition "The pass rush has been their biggest question on defense the last few years," one NFL exec said. "...
They need to improve the D-line, but they couldn't really do it because they are locked into guys with guaranteed money. They didn't really address their biggest defensive need. " Chicago needs a pass rusher/edge rusher, and despite such a huge need at a premium position, the Bears haven't been able to address the position this offseason.
