The Bears talked about looking at any number of position flips during the offseason and here’s how they turned out, with a thumbs up or thumbs down on the ideas.

A major point of coaches when the Ben Johnson era began was how they would explore all possibilities with players during on-field work in the offseason.

The premise is maybe they have answers among available talent to fill vital roles within their scheme, jobs these players wouldn’t have performed in their old scheme.

Basically, they were talking position change or exploring it for several players. And we’re not talking about the offensive linemen chasing down passes here like they did on summer vacation day at Halas Hall. This is serious stuff.

The OTAs are over and that should be the end of experimenting because they have games to focus on and an offense and defense to have down perfectly when they get to training camp.

Here are position flips most mentioned, where they ended up and whether they should be kept or tossed.
