Introduction

The Jacksonville Jaguars changed their players. The Chicago Bears are looking for new players for their defense.

Main Body

The Jaguars signed Ameer Abdullah. He is an experienced player. They removed Ja'Quinden Jackson from the team. Abdullah can catch the ball and run well. He helps the young players on the team. Abdullah must play well to stay on the team. The team has other players like Bhayshul Tuten. This move does not cost the team much money. The Chicago Bears want a strong player for their defense. Some people think they want Cameron Jordan. But Jordan might stay with the New Orleans Saints. Dennis Allen is the coach for the Bears. He is happy with his players now. He might find a new player later, but there is no plan yet.

Conclusion

Jacksonville added a new player. Chicago is still thinking about their defense.
