10 free agents the Chicago Bears will target in NFL Free Agency
6. Would Colby Parkinson follow his OC to the Chicago Bears?
We go back to Seattle for this one. The Chicago Bears hired their old passing game coordinator to be their safeties coach, they also hired their old offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron to do the same duties.
We saw Luke Getsy bring in Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan, two Green Bay Packers who followed him to his new team. It may happen again when you consider Tonyan and Lewis will be gone this offseason, and the team has two holes at tight end.
One of the holes will need to be filled by a blocking type of tight end to replace Lewis. Shane Waldron knows as well as anybody that Colby Parkinson can do this.
Parkinson is going to sign on a rather cheap deal. This is a player woth just over 600 yards in four NFL seasons. He was a secondary tight end to Noah Fant with Waldron, but he also developed into a reliable blocker and trusted number two with Waldron. The familiarity could bring a signing.
