Chicago Bears head coach John Fox: "We have a lot of needs"

Chicago Bears head coach John Fox has conceded that his team have "a lot of needs" to fill during free agency and the NFL Draft.

Fox was appointed as the Bears' head coach in January following the firing of Marc Trestman after the NFC North side posted a 5-11 record in the 2014 campaign.

Despite adding Pernell McPhee, Antrel Rolle and Eddie Royal in the first two weeks of free agency, Fox is adamant that he needs to make further additions.

"We have a lot of needs," Fox told the Chicago Tribune. "There are still a lot of green rectangles on a board. There are still two pools of players.

"There are still a lot of guys left in [secondary] free agency, which I prefer dealing with anyways, not the jump-out-in-front [signings]. When you get it going good, you don't have to do that."

The Bears have failed to reach the playoffs since the 2010 season.
