Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune reports that the Bears are expected to take a โlong lookโ at Raiders OLB Kamerion Wimbley if/when he becomes available.
Chicago had Wimbley pegged as their โNo. 1 targetโ last year and they could use some added depth at the outside linebacker position.
So far, weโve heard the Chargers mentioned as another option for him but you could probably add others like the Patriots and Cardinals to that list as well.

ESPNโs Bill Williamson reports that the Oakland Raiders will most likely be releasing OLB Kamerion Wimbley in the coming days. Even more interesting, Williamson mentions that the Chargers could be the favorites to sign him once heโs available.
Oakland has been in talks with Wimbley and his representation for โseverAl Daysโ now but a that would restructure his contract and give the team some needed cap space appears to be unlikely.
If Wimbley becomes available, you would have to think that San Diego would strongly consider signing him given that theyโre in desperate need of a outside linebacker thatโs capable of getting to the quarterback. They could him for a reasonable contract as he would already be receiving a salary from the Raiders and theyโre more than familiar with him considering that theyโve faced him twice a year for the last number of season.
