Running back

The Chicago Bears were a team linked to Kareem Hunt that saw him go to the Cleveland Browns. Still, that does not mean the Bears are keeping Jordan Howard quite yet. They wanted to shop him last summer, and he still has not been a fit with Nagy and company, albeit most of it coming on the offensive line.
While they are going to address the offensive line, Matt Nagy still wants to pick his back, and that has become clear. With that in mind, the team may even move on from Howard this year to recoup an asset that helps address guard or running back.

On top of that, Taquan Mizzell took snaps on offense in the playoffs, and Benny Cunningham is a free agent. They are going to want to hit this spot in some shape or fashion as well. The question is not whether they do, it is how much do they add, and is it in free agency, the draft, or both?
