Even Eddie Jackson is surprised he’s still here, but he’s glad he is.

Jackson watched Bears general manager Ryan Poles come in last year and begin clearing out big contracts and wondered if he’d be next. It was “wild” as he saw stars — and some of his best friends — Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks exit, then saw the Bears offload Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn during the season.
