Can they be bold and let Littleton go, sign Trevathan to take his spot short-term and draft a younger LB to groom and make Scherff the big signing and also let Fowler walk?
Hmmm...
From ESPN:
Guard Brandon Scherff
Scherff has missed 13 games the past two seasons because of injuries, which might hurt negotiations. But when healthy, he's still an excellent guard, capable of playing with power or on the move. With the previous regime, it appeared the only way it would keep him was to use the franchise tag on him -- the sides appeared apart and Scherff might have been turned off by the state of the franchise. With a new coaching staff and a remade front office, it's uncertain in which direction it will go and how much the team wants to invest in a guard.
Keep in mind the Panthers -- coached by Ron Rivera and with the same line coach he'll have in Washington -- let free-agent guard Andrew Norwell walk in 2018. -- John Keim
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears
Inside linebacker Danny Trevathan
Trevathan just finished up a solid four-year stint in Chicago, but the soon-to-be-30-year-old has a history of injuries. He has missed 16 games since signing with the Bears prior to the 2015 season, including the final seven weeks of 2019. When healthy, Trevathan is an effective leader on defense. But the Bears have the option of attempting to re-sign younger linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski (another free agent), who played very well in place of Trevathan. That could be the direction Chicago heads.
