Bears general manager Ryan Poles has a lot of work to do with this roster ahead of free agency. There are some important decisions to be made about possibly retaining some in-house free agents and big targets set to hit the free agent market.
While in-house names like Allen Robinson, Akiem Hicks, James Daniels and Bilal Nichols are garnering plenty of attention, Jakeem Grant is flying under the radar. The Bears traded for Grant last October to serve as their return specialist, and he turned it into a Pro Bowl and All-Pro season.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Grant could be a surprise player who nets more than many believe when free agency kicks off. Pelissero notes Grant could net as much as $5 million per year after accounting for $1.5 million in 2021 with Chicago.
