2017 NFL Power Rankings: Los Angeles Rams Enter Offseason Near Bottom

30. Chicago Bears

How much fun is it going to be following the Chicago Bears in the offseason? From seeing what happens with Alshon Jeffery at wide receiver to the team figuring out whether it’s time to move on from Jay Cutler at quarterback, the Bears are one of those teams with plenty of big decisions on their plate over the next few months.

For the third year in a row, Chicago finished at the bottom of the NFC North after combining for only 14 wins, nine of which have come over the last two seasons with John Fox at head coach. Not only have the Bears given Cutler every opportunity in the world to prove himself over the years, but numerous reports indicated his leaderships skills were drawn into question by some of his teammates this past season.

Only time will tell when it comes to Chicago deciding what their plans are for Cutler, but it doesn’t look good for the veteran quarterback. It would be one thing if Cutler had made a strong case for himself in 2016, but it certainly didn’t help his cause that he only played in five games.

On another note, at least the Bears were able to figure out Matt Barkley doesn’t have what it takes to be their starter at quarterback instead of considering him for the job next year.
