The Bears have re-signed Aaron Lynch, according to a team announcement. The outside linebacker will return on a new one-year deal. 
Lynch met with the Seahawks, Raiders, and Colts this offseason, but he ultimately chose to return to the Bears for at least one more season. Lynch registered three sacks in Chicago last year, giving him 18 across five NFL seasons. However, 12.5 of those sacks came in his first two years in the league.
Lynch spent the first four seasons of his career with the 49ers and signed with the Bears last season to reunite with then-Chicago DC Vic Fangio. After playing on roughly 16% of the 49ers’ defensive snaps over his last two years in SF, Lynch saw an uptick in playing time last year, appearing in roughly one-third of the Bears’ defensive snaps.
Lynch can line up at DE or OLB, so he figures to split his time between those spots in 2019.
If he can stay healthy, he’s a solid DE/ OLB.They really lacked depth before this.
Great news
Depth is so important in the NFL with serious injuries one play away. Maybe not a starter but Aaron is a great depth piece. He played well for the Bears as a backup last year.
I agree. Your only as strong as the weakest link in the chain and in the NFL that chain is 53 players long. Free agency provides the opportunity to upgrade the weak aspects of that chain and signing Lynch should do that.
Bears are in position to take BPA in draft, even with Howard trade.
Didn’t like that trade, but overall good offseason for Pace and Nagy.
