Rotational role expected Billings recorded 27 tackles over 17 games in his first season with the Bears and will likely continue in a part-time role in 2024.
Impact Billings played between 25 and 35 snaps in all but four games. There were only three occasions in which the veteran surpassed two tackles. With second-year players Gervon Dexter and Zaach Pickens possibly taking a step forward, it's possible that Billings could see a slight dip in snaps. That would make the low-floor IDP value of Billings even lower.
