The Bears don’t have any glaring issues on their roster, except one: kicker.

The kicker carousel has been front and center this offseason, including eight kickers on the roster at rookie minicamp.

And the results haven’t exactly been encouraging. In fact, Matt Nagy has been trying to throw every possible pressure at them, outside of game experience, to see how they handle it. And it’s been a mixed bag.

With the Bears gearing up for training camp, the eight have dwindled down to two, with Elliott Fry and Eddy Pineiro vying for the starting role.

That doesn’t mean that one of them will be the Bears’ kicker come the regular season. In fact, their kicker might not be on the roster yet. It’s possible that the Bears will sign a veteran kicker to compete during the preseason as roster cuts take effect.

But could the Bears turn elsewhere than free agency?

A fan posed this question to NFL Network’s Dan Hanzus in his weekly mailbag:

Would it be crazy for the Bears to offer up a first-round pick for All-Pro Ravens kicker Justin Tucker?

Here’s what Handzus had to say:

I imagine most would find such a trade offer laughable, but I don’t. Justin Tucker is without a doubt one of the greatest kickers in the history of the sport, if not the greatest. At 29 years old, he should have another 6 to 8 years of excellence in that supremely gifted right leg. If you’re Bears GM Ryan Pace, and you believe your team has enough talent to win the Super Bowl right now, and you know Robbie Gould is no longer an option, Tucker makes a lot of sense. Again, most people don’t believe any kicker is worth a late-first-round pick. But people need to stop sleeping on how important a kicker really is.

There’s no denying that a reliable kicker is vital for the success of a team thinking deep-playoff run, as the Bears learned the hard way.

And while it’s not necessarily laughable to consider the Bears trading for one of the best kickers in NFL history — with their Super Bowl window wide-open — it’s not necessarily realistic. Tucker, 29, signed a four-year extension this offseason with $12.5 million fully guaranteed, setting him to stay in Baltimore through 2023.
