Chicago Bears showing interest in pass-rusher with ties to Dennis Allen
Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles said he wanted to wait to gauge what the defense had on its roster early in training camp before deciding to be proactive on the market for a defensive end or defensive tackle.
Based on recent developments with the Bears and the market, it’s clear the front office sees a need at a couple of places on the defensive line.
Chicago reportedly called about Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea, who requested a trade this summer. The Buccaneers don’t have any plans to part with him.
Per the league’s transaction wire, the Bears brought in Marcus Davenport for a workout on Sunday. Davenport has ties to Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who was his defensive coordinator and head coach with the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints selected Davenport in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He earned PFWA All-Rookie Honors, recording 4.5 sacks and 2021 tackles in his first season.
Davenport has appeared in 77 games and started 43 games. He’s made 165 tackles and 25 sacks in his first eight years in the league. He’s spent time with the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. He started in seven games for the Lions last season, and recorded 14 tackles and one sack.
Davenport wouldn’t be counted on to be a starting defensive end in Chicago, though he could help with the rotation.
The Bears have been working on a few things to fix the pass rush this offseason, teaching better technique for defensive linemen and hoping the secondary can create coverage sacks.
Chicago is dealing with several injuries in the secondary during the preseason. Based on the performance of the Bears defensive line against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, the defense needs some help at defensive end if they’re going to get after an opposing quarterback.
Davenport could be brought in for passing downs and Allen would know how to use him. But the team still needs to find someone who can make an impact for the regular season.
