3. Akiem Hicks
For as high as the highs were with Robinson, they were even higher with Akiem Hicks. However, the lows may have gone even lower for Hicks, who reportedly did not show up to the facility at all for the final week of the Chicago Bears season.
Hicks knew his career with Chicago was over and gave a big salute to the fans with a strong performance against the Minnesota Vikings on primetime that featured a goodbye bow.
Hicks is always going to be a fan favorite, which is why it is disappointing that his last game went down without him even wanting to be a part of the team.
At his peak, this was an All-Pro performer, but the injuries are catching up to him, and no one Is going to offer him long-term money. At this point, the best bet for Hicks is to be a mercenary and jump from contender to contender on one-year deals to chase wins and rings. No one in Chicago should blame him if that is the route he chose.
