Why Pace would get him if he could.
The defense drove the Bears to the playoffs in 2018 on defense and as much as Matt Nagy needs help on offense Pace needs to secure a playoff appearance in order to justify his decision making.
Khalil Mack was extremely effective but Floyd seems to be a bad fit and potential bust at OLB. 3 sacks is never going to cut it.
Shaq Barrett being signed by pace would give us an elite defense behind 2 of the best pass rushers in football and with a returning Akiem Hicks could become an absolutely unstoppable front 4 for a considerable amount of time.
Yes he is expensive but his impact if duplicable along with Hicks return would be scary to imagine. A defense that was 1st in every catagory slipped significantly after Hicks got injured.
Pace could potentially extend his tenure in Chicago with a #1 defense and a playoff birth.
With Barrett and Mack signed up for 5 years you'd have elite pass rushers for half a decade putting yourself in great position in every draft as elite pass rushers are scarce in the NFL.
Nagy would be a given draft picks to develop saving him from some scrutiny and Mitch might become the guy with his head on the chopping block come this season.
