4 bold predictions for the Bears' 2024 offseason

4. Ryan Poles makes TWO unnecessarily risky free agent signings to show fans the Bears are back

The Bears are so, so close to their We May Have Too Much Money To Spend era, and it's a right of passage that ascending teams throw big dollars at someone who doesn't end up contributing that much. The options this year are especially intriguing: Chris Jones, Tee Higgins, Brian Burns, and Antonie Winfield Jr. are all available and all fit a position of need in Chicago. So the guess here is this: Higgins on a $60+ million deal and Jones on a $90+ million deal. And then the Bears will finally be back.
