GM Ryan Poles has some big decisions to make, but with an improving defense, a developing offensive line and likely the No. 1 pick in the draft the Bears will be headed in the right direction in 2024 whether or not Matt Eberflus is the coach, Luke Getsy is the offensive coordinator and Justin Fields is the quarterback.
NFL free agency is always full of surprises, with some players getting much bigger contracts than expected. Here are 10 such free agents who could surprise.

Mark Andrews and Bradley Bozeman Among Likely Extension Candidates
There s been plenty of talk about Lamar Jackson s contract situation and pass rushers Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue, but what other Ravens could be in line for an extension?
That s the question posed to The Athletic s Jeff Zrebiec during a reader mailbag, and he believes the next likely candidates are tight end Mark Andrews and guard Bradley Bozeman. They view both as important and ascending core offensive players who are productive, tough and reliable on the field and positive influences in the locker room and in the community, Zrebiec wrote. That s assuming they don t extend a guy like Brandon Williams or Calais Campbell just to lower their 2021 cap numbers.
