If there’s one good thing to come out of the AAF shutting its doors, maybe it’s that the Chicago Bears might find an answer to their kicker woes.

Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune has reported that the Bears will host kickers Younghoe Koo and Nick Rose for a try out on Wednesday. Also, “it’s believed they might bring in at least one additional kicker that day.”

The one glaring hole on the Bears’ roster is placekicker, and Ryan Pace is pulling out all the stops to ensure that the Bears’ season won’t end once again because of an inconsistent kicker.

The Bears currently have two kickers under contract in Chris Blewitt and Redford Jones, who have never played in the NFL. It’s also likely that they’ll turn to the draft to bring in another for a kicking competition that will, unfortunately, be a focal point during the training camp and the preseason. That would be three kickers without a single game of NFL experience competing for a job that carries a lot of weight for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

Koo and Rose, however, do have NFL experience. Koo, who played four games with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017, made 3 of 6 field goals and 9 of 9 extra points. During his time with the Atlanta Legends in the AAF, Koo connected on all 14 field goal attempts with a long of 38 yards.

Rose, who played for the Chargers and Washington Redskins in 2017, made 11 of 14 field goals, including a long of 55, and connected on 23 of 26 extra points. With the San Antonio Commanders in the AAF, he also made all 14 field goal attempts, including a pair of field goals from beyond 50 yards.

When it comes to the kicking competition, general manager Ryan Pace is keeping all of his options open.

“Right now we’re all just very open-minded,” Pace said last month at the NFL owners meeting. “So we have two kickers on the roster now, and we’re open to continue to add competition to the position — and the keyword is ‘competition’ at that spot. And doing creative things to make them feel that pressure and that competition.”

“The more we study it and the more we look at kickers around the league — we can talk about (Saints kicker Will) Lutz or (Ravens kicker Justin) Tucker and all these guys — you look at how they came into the league and where they came from, there’s so many different angles and avenues how they came and became good kickers. So we’re very open right now in increasing competition there.”

Maybe the answer to the Bears’ kicking woes lies with the foot of an AAF kicker.
