The Chicago Bears are coming off a tremendous 12-4 season and finally have something to build on moving forward. If anyone knows Ryan Pace, they know he’s certainly not going to stand pat and just try to keep the band together and give it a go in 2019.

The Bears don’t have a ton of resources this offseason to utilize. Their cap space is tight and they don’t own a first or second round pick, but that doesn’t mean Pace can’t make chicken salad out of you know what.

There will have to be some tough decisions to make this offseason and some obvious ones. If the Bears are going to improve the roster this year, a plan needs to be in place. Here’ s is a 10-step plan that if Pace followed, could put his team in excellent shape for next season.

This plan is not their entire offseason. It doesn’t focus on re-signing guys like Roy Robertson-Harris, Josh Bellamy and others that are low-level free agents or restricted free agents that should be signed. It also doesn’t focus on the draft and who the Bears should select. This plan only focuses on significant moves that have the greatest impact on what the Bears can do in free agency this season.
