Linebackers

Khalil Mack
Roquan Smith
Danny Trevathan
Leonard Floyd
Aaron Lynch
Nick Kwiatkoski
Isaiah Irving
Kylie Fitts
Joel Iyeigbuniwe
Kevin Pierre-Louis

I still don’t know what the Raiders were thinking in trading away Khalil Mack last season, but I don’t think the Bears mind one bit. Floyd can be an excellent compliment opposite Mack if he can stay healthy. I expect Smith to take a big step forward after missing much of the offseason last year due to contract disputes. Trevathan is a solid veteran to pair with Smith in the middle. Lynch and Kwiatkoski will be the primary backups while Irving, Fitts, Iyeigbuniwe, and Pierre-Louis will provide more depth and help on Special Teams.
