Chicago Bears Free Agents:
Salary Cap: TBA.
Henry Melton, DT, Bears. Age: 26.
Henry Melton is one of the top interior pass-rushers in all of football. He could stand to be better against the run, but he deserves a big contract after getting to the quarterback more effectively than Julius Peppers.
Israel Idonije, DE, Bears. Age: 32.
Israel Idonije is coming off a fantastic season in terms of getting to the quarterback (7.5 sacks) and stopping the run. He'll be 33 in November, however.
Brian Urlacher, ILB, Bears. Age: 35.
Based on the way he played last year, Brian Urlacher probably deserves 1.5 stars. He was terrible. However, he was hurt throughout, so maybe he can recover and be at least an OK starter again.
Nick Roach, OLB, Bears. Age: 28.
Nick Roach hasn't been a liability as a starting linebacker, but Chicago can do better.
Nate Collins (RFA), DT, Bears. Age: 25.
D.J. Moore, CB, Bears. Age: 26.
Kelvin Hayden, CB, Bears. Age: 30.
Jason Campbell, QB, Bears. Age: 31.
Lance Louis, G, Bears. Age: 28.
Johnny Knox, WR, Bears. Age: 26.
Geno Hayes, OLB, Bears. Age: 26.
