The start of training camp is just around the corner for the Chicago Bears, and in the coming weeks, the team’s final 53-man roster will start to take shape.
The team struggled last season and finished the year with a 5-11 record, but outside linebacker Jared Allen thinks Chicago has a chance to turn it around this season.
“Our attitudes weren’t in position for us to be successful [last season],” Allen said, according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today. “It’s going to completely change. It’s a 180, and that’s really the focus—it’s about going to work, having fun, going out on Sunday and whooping someone’s butt.”
The Bears fired general manager Phil Emery and head coach Marc Trestman at the end of last season, and new head coach John Fox appears to be a perfect fit in Chicago.
“He’s the perfect guy for our team, exactly what we need,” said receiver Eddie Royal about Fox, according to Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times. “He’s firm when he needs to be, but he’s also laid-back at the same time.”
In the coming weeks, Fox, his coaching staff and general manager Ryan Pace are going to have a lot of difficult decisions to make as they trim the roster from 90 players down to 53 players before the start of the regular season.
What could the 53-man roster look like at the end of the preseason? We explore that ahead.
