Would the Chicago Bears bring back Adrian Amos?

Adrian Amos was one of Ryan Pace's first draft picks back in 2015. He was a fifth-round pick who worked his way into the starting lineup and became a focal point fairly early. Many believe he was the reason that Eddie Jackson was able to become the elite safety he was in 2018 and why he fell off a bit once Amos left for Green Bay. Jackson found himself another solid in-the-box type of safety in Jaquan Brisker this season and flourished once again before breaking his foot.

Amos is not someone who you think of when it comes to takeaways. He is just a consistent safety who has the ability to stay pretty healthy. In his eight-year career, Amos only has 10 interceptions and three forced fumbles. That's less than two takeaways a year. He's coming off a season with his most tackles (102 combined), but is that reason enough for the Chicago Bears to consider a reunion?

This is a new regime obviously and there isn't really any connection back to Chicago outside of Luke Getsy who coached on the offensive side of the ball and not the defensive side. Amos is a solid player, overrated by some fans, and will find a new home quickly. I just don't think fans want to see him back here based on how he acted when he left. I don't think he fits in with the new regime and safety isn't a position of need outside of depth - unless they plan to move on from Eddie Jackson. If that was the case, Amos would not be the guy to take on that position. Amos is a no-go for the Bears.
