Kyle Long Already Recruiting Chris Long To Bears After Brother’s Patriots Post
It took less than two hours after defensive end Chris Long announced he won’t return to the New England Patriots next season for the free agent’s brother to start recruiting him to his Chicago Bears.
He’s TOTALLY NOT tampering at all, though (the new league year officially starts March 9 at 4 p.m.).
Here are All-Pro guard Kyle Long’s tweets to his brother.
Hey @JOEL9ONE I hear your not back with the Patriots. I have a wicked good loft for you in Lake Forest. I will give your son his own wing.

If chicago likes me they will love my brother, I haven't talked to him or the Bears because that's not my place. Would be a LOT of fun tho

Wow, what a nice brother. Kyle would be willing to give up his No. 75 and switch to No. 69 to get Chris on the Bears.
Chris Long explained in an Instagram post that he wants to take on a greater role in 2017. He further clarified his reasoning in a follow-up tweet.

Chris Long signed with the Patriots to win a Super Bowl ring, and he did just that. Now he’s off to prove that he can be the starting defensive end he was earlier in his career with the Rams.
He would be competing with Leonard Floyd, Lamarr Houston, Pernell McPhee and Willie Young for that role if he were to take up his brother’s offer and join the Bears.
