Bears Boost Defense, Lock in Linebackers

0:00For the NFL, it's March 9th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Chicago Bears kicked off free agency with a flurry of moves, grabbing top safety, Kobe Bryant, linebacker Devon Bush, off his besties and yet, and defensive tackle Neville Gallimore for some past rush help. They also locked in two of their own guys, bringing back linebacker to Marco Jackson on a two-year deal worth $7.5 million, up to $10.5 million, an offensive tackle Braxton Jones on a one-year pact up to $10 million. Fans and analysts see Jackson as a big winner here, with his strong coverage skills from last season, he ranks second among linebackers per PFF on. Enough snaps, giving him a clear path to the third linebacker spot alongside Devon Bush. Braxton Jones gets another shot too, after getting benched last year, with his main rival out injured, he could reclaim his starting tackle job if he bounces back from surgery.
