Bears 2021 free agency preview: Should Chicago bring back John Jenkins?

Arguably the biggest loss for the Chicago Bears last season was Eddie Goldman’s absence, which left Chicago without a nose tackle. The Bears brought back a familiar face in John Jenkins, who played a lot of nose tackle alongside Bilal Nichols. Chicago let Jenkins leave in free agency back in 2017, and now they face a similar situation following his one-year stint with the team last year.

Looking ahead to free agency, we’re breaking down every Bears free agent’s 2020 season, including the team’s need at the position and predicting whether they stay or go in free agency.
