Ranking the Chicago Bears Roster: 80-76

How would you rank the Chicago Bears 90-man roster heading into 2019?

With a long break between offseason workouts and the start of training camp, there are not going to be many roster changes or any breakings news for the next month or so. This gives us a perfect time to sit back and reflect on where the. Chicago Bears stand and where they might go from here.This series will go through ranking the Bears roster based solely on their 2019 expectations. The ranking will blend in their talent level, their potential contributions to 2019, and the value of their impact on the roster.

Yesterday, we looked at players 90-81.  Today we look at 80-76.

80. John Wirtel, LS

One of the tougher players to rank in this entire project is the backup long snapper. On one hand, this is a long snapper. His value is going to be minimal even if he makes the roster. On the other hand, as the backup long snapper, he has a much better chance to make the roster than say, Thomas Ives, in our last post who would come in as the 11th or 12th receiver on the depth chart.

Wirtel will compete with Patrick Scales, but has a great chance of being forgotten within the next month or so. Most fans just learned he was on the roster today.
