6 free-agent moves from NFC North rivals that should concern Bears fans
What an offseason it's been in the NFC North. For the second year, the Bears have the first overall pick in the NFL Draft – and this year, they'll actually use it! On a quarterback! And everyone can keep laughing about the Bears' QB stuff until it changes, but there's no denying that they look about as close to a playoff contender as they have in the last, what? Half decade? I'm not sure the rest of the league is ready for Bears fans with a good quarterback.
Things in the division have been plenty outside of Chicago, too. The Packers decided to get all their moves done in, like, a span of two hours. Upgrading their roster with even more fun, ascending talents with moves that didn't even seem possible is a very Green Bay thing to do. The Vikings' entire defense will look different – and way better – next year. The Lions haven't done a whole lot, but they were three points away from the Super Bowl last season, so it's hard to blame them. It's hard to find a division that is so uniformly on the rise, which is as exciting for Bears fans as it is terrifying. So while we all wait for the first b-roll of Williams throwing to recievers at OTAs, let's take a look at the rest of the division and find the six free agent moves that should have Bears fans a little concerned.
