Bears general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy have many big tasks ahead this offseason as they plot moves to help them improve on an 8-8 finish in 2019.
As the NFL world convenes at the scouting combine in Indianapolis this week, Pace and Nagy must figure out which players might help fix their offense. They must plug a few key holes on defense. And, of course, they need a quarterback.
The combine provides a forum for the Bears to talk with executives from other teams and agents as they plot free-agent signings and trades. And they will begin to meet with prospects to determine how to make the most of a draft in which they don't have a first-round pick. The Bears pick twice in the second round at Nos. 43 and 50.
Pace and Nagy will meet with the media Tuesday for the first time since their season-ending news conference Dec. 31. Here's a look at five Bears storylines as they ready for a big week.
