The Chicago Bears still have some room for growth this summer.
Chicago has been extremely active this offseason and still could make another move or two this summer. The Bears have a chance to be much better in 2024 and one of the team's former stars still is out there in free agency and could be an intriguing free-agent candidate.
Former Bears star safety Eddie Jackson surprisingly still is available in free agency and is one of the best safeties still out there. Jackson was selected by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 National Football League Draft and has spent seven seasons with the team.
Jackson was named to the Pro Bowl in 2018 and 2019 and was an All-Pro in 2018. The 30-year-old is the ninth-ranked available free agent by NFL Trade Rumors and could make a lot of sense for the Bears.
Chicago has had an intriguing offseason with multiple solid additions -- including phenom Caleb Williams and superstar receiver Keenan Allen -- but still has more work to do. A reunion with Jackson could help improve the secondary.
Free agency essentially comes to a pause after plenty of action early on. It's unclear when it will pick back up, but Jackson should find another opportunity in the near future. Chicago makes a lot of sense as a reunion option.
Why not consider a reunion at this point in the offseason?
