Analysis: A shortage of rush men for the rotation is likely to lead GM Ryan Poles to sign someone and the best option the Bears have here is a familiar one.
The next step for Bears improvement has been charted already by Ryan Poles, with possibly some extraneous help from Jaylon Johnson.
He missed four more games to try and get his sack total up where it normally has been, which is at eight sacks or more every year in the league. But he never got the chance. Lawson would actually seem like a decent fit, not because of his production but because he has worked with Bears defensive coordinator Eric Washington in the past.
Golden had three sesons in a nine-year career with more than 4 1/2 sacks. In those, he had 10, 11 and 12 1/2 sacks. But they have been widely dispersed. He hd 11 in 2021 for Arizona but no more than 4 1/2 in any season since 2019. Last year he had only nine pressures and four sacks, but he did have 22 pressures in 2022 and in other years as many as 44 pressures.The Bears, of course, play a 4-3.
