Could the Chicago Bears consider either of these defensive linemen?
Two of the seven Packers whose contracts were voided play on the defensive line. The Chicago Bears need help on the defensive line. Could either of them be a strong option for the Bears when free agency hits in March?
Dean Lowry, DE
Should the Chicago Bears consider adding Dean Lowry to the roster? He is 29 years old and has played with Green Bay his entire career. Lowry was a fourth-round draft pick in 2016 and has been a starter for the Packers for the last four seasons. Despite playing in 15 games, Lowry only finished with half a sack last year. 2021 was his best year with five sacks and prior to that he never eclipsed three in a season. Lowry has been hot and cold when it comes to stopping the run too. I'm not interested in him here in Chicago.
Jarran Reed, DT
Now, if the Chicago Bears wanted to add Jarran Reed to their defensive line rotation I wouldn't hate it. He isn't anyone the team should count on to start despite starting multiple games for the Packers each year. He is nearly 30 years old and has played for three teams. There is a connection to Ryan Poles though as Reed started all 17 games for the Chiefs in 2021. He would make for a solid rotational player though who comes in off the bench at times. His best season was in 2018 when he racked up 10.5 sacks, but he typically doesn't see more than 2.5 sacks a season.
