Tevin Coleman had pretty solid stats last year.
Eric Berry has played 3 games in the last 2 years.
Still not sure why the Peckers got rid of Dix.

Clinton Dix is like the very poor man's version of Eddie
Jackson. He gambles a lot to go for turnovers and big plays. I
think he's about as good as Amos, but Id prefer amos'
reliability (he was all over the place in the playoff game
though)to pair with Jackson's risk taking. Haha and Eddie as
your safeties will result in more big plays for both sides.

From Bleacher Report:
"Bryce Callahan would've been the priority here. But Monday's
deal that brought veteran slot cornerback Buster Skrine to the
Windy City indicates the Chicago Bears are willing to let
Callahan walk.
That's an ill-advised idea, but whatever.
The Bears also watched veteran safety Adrian Amos leave for—of
all places—Green Bay. That's gotta sting.
Amos' departure might free up the money to bring back Callahan.
But in any event, the safety position is now a big area of need
for the Bears.
Many of the biggest names there (like Amos and Landon Collins)
have already locked in lucrative deals and new homes. But
whether it's a star like Earl Thomas or lower-end (and less
expensive) talent such as Clayton Geathers, Tre Boston and
Jahleel Addae, there's still fruit on the vine of free agency's
deepest position.
It's time for the Bears to pick up some of that fruit."

I don't doubt what you say about Clinton-Dix, but that's the
coach's job to put players in the right place to make plays and
prevent big plays. Can't say Packers have been doing anything
well defensively for quite a while.
boogie
Larsen got into it with someone on the Bears' defensive side.
Does anyone remember? Hicks maybe?

They think Skrine is better than Callahan.
Packers traded Dix in the middle of the season - Obviously did
not want to re-sign him. He had some good years and 3 picks
before the Packers traded him.
Clinton-Dix has never missed a game in his career and started 55
straight regular-season games in Green Bay. For his career, Ha
Ha has generated 378 tackles, 25 passes defended, 14
interceptions, 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.

Thought: What if #Bears didn't sign Buster Skrine to replace
Bryce Callahan? What if they want to sign Callahan and use
Skrine's versatility as a super sub to be main backup on all 3
CB spots? Could cut Callahan's snap count to keep him healthier.
Bears have enough $ for this.

Jackson is our Free Safety (deep, cover). Amos was the SS. Isnt
Dix a FS too? Dont we have to be careful with safety selection?

I don't know that there's that much of a distinction in most NFL
defenses between SS and FS. You rarely see safeties in the box
anymore. Dix has the size to play SS at 6-1 208. And last year
he had 93 tackles in 16 games with GB and the 'skins. That's a
lot. Amos had 73 last year.
Here's a chart of the remaining FA safeties - pick one:
