Bears general manager Ryan Pace originally drafted Hicks in the third round in New Orleans back in 2012.
Hicks will join linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman as three solid starters that were acquired by Pace during this past week.
Chicago has some pieces in place to drastically improve on their 20th ranked scoring defense from a season ago. Eddie Goldman had a tremendous rookie season in 2015 and Pernell McPhee should improve in his second season in Chicago. Kyle Fuller is a talented player in the secondary and the Bears will have the 11th overall pick in April’s Draft.
If the Bears can get a solid season out of quarterback Jay Cutler and if last year’s first-round pick, wide receiver Kevin White can contribute, Chicago may be surprisingly competitive in 2016.
