Deon Bush is making Bears' 2020 safety plans a lot easier

Complete No-Brainer for Pace here.

Bush would be a starter this year on virtually every other NFL team.  Pace should work out an extension with him ASAP and let Dix walk away next offseason for a comp pick.  

depends on how haha plays and how well he works with Jackson. if those 2 show a ton of chemistry maybe you try and keep him" or at least ask for a right to match an offer.

I'm not saying there is a good shot, just what I could see them trying. they te signed lynch after 1 1yr prove it deal also

Lynch is on the cheap and the Bears have no replacement immediately available.

Dix will likely be much more expensive and Bush, our own draft pick, is right there to take his spot.  Heck, even those ridiculously over-the-top homeristic Indy local announcers last night said "Bush would be a starter on virtually any other defense".  If I were Ryan Pace, I would pushing hard to get him extended during the season (something teams typically don't do) because his price is likely to go way up once FA starts next year.  Offer him a modest base salary with generous incentive bonuses, for instance.  The alternative to being proactive like that is that we could see 3 starting caliber safeties (Amos, Bush, and Dix) walk away in FA in just 2 years.

It wasn't that long ago that we had a rotating clown school of garbage at Safety (remember Conte, Major Wright, Mundy, Demps, Vereen, and Rolle?).  We now have 3 good safeties all of which have excellent ball skills.  That's a rarity.  Pace needs to lock down 2 of them by next March.
