We have likely seen the end of Lance Briggs in a Chicago Bears uniform. The seven-time Pro Bowl player patrolled the weak side of the linebacker corps for 12 seasons.
With the Bears shifting to a 3-4 scheme, the focus to fill Briggs’ spot centers on a player who can set the edge and get after the quarterback. Lucky for the Bears, there are solid options in the draft and free agency.
Although Jared Allen and Willie Young will get a crack at outside linebacker, neither is a long-term or natural fit at the spot. The Bears are going to look elsewhere to find a solid option for the hole going forward.
These are the seven best players to fill in for Briggs if he doesn’t re-sign. Give us your thoughts below on the names and who you would like to see on the list.
