The roster will experience a lot of turnover before next season. That much is inevitable. However, it doesn’t mean there are no players worth bringing back. Alshon Jeffery will be by far the biggest decision. Odds are the Bears know he’s their principal playmaker in the passing game. They should be able to get him back at a good price. Matt Barkley, Brian Hoyer, and Connor Shaw each showed promise in their limited appearances at quarterback. Don’t be surprised if they return to enter a wide open competition.

Eric Kush has really surprised with his play in a reserve role this season at guard. He should be brought back to provide depth. Johnthan Banks was claimed off waivers. It seems like the team really wants to give him a shot at corner. Bryce Callahan and Cornelius Washington have each performed well on defense when they can stay healthy. As for Christian Jones and Josh Bellamy, they are quality depth and special teams standouts.
