2-1. The Chicago Bears may have interest in these two free-agent Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals have two defenders that the Chicago Bears could be interested in in free agency. Leki Fotu is a defensive tackle who was drafted by the Cardinals but not by this front office. Fotu started for the first 11 weeks of the season, but a broken bone in his hand ended his year early.

The Bears are likely to lose Justin Jones in free agency. Zacch Pickens and Gervon Dexter need to step into bigger roles, so the Bears will not need a bigger name replacement. Rather, they should try to find a backup to Andrew Billings at nose tackle. This is where Fotu would be a great fit. 

At cornerback, it will be interesting to see how much money Antonio Hamilton makes on an open market. He is 31 years old, but at stretches of the year, he was the Cardinals' best cornerback. That does not say much when you look at their room as a whole, but if the Bears end up moving on from Jaylon Johnson in some way, they could bring in Hamilton this offseason.
