INDIANAPOLIS -- Chicago Bears coach John Fox and general manager Ryan Pace met Wednesday with the media at the NFL combine, and several other interview sessions commenced Friday involving general managers and head coaches around the league. Here’s what we’ve learned about the Bears:

Inside linebackers on radar: Multiple sources indicate the Bears are looking to add inside linebackers in free agency. Interestingly, the current roster features some intriguing possibilities at the position in Jonathan Bostic, Khaseem Greene and the recently re-signed DeDe Lattimore, along with pending veteran free agent Lance Briggs. The team’s interest level in re-signing Briggs is unclear. Briggs earned $4.75 million in base salary in 2014, and likely won’t be able to command such a lucrative salary in free agency.

The Bears will meet with reps for New York Jets free agent inside linebacker David Harris this week at the combine, according to a source. Harris has generated 100-plus tackles in each of the last three seasons and hasn’t missed a game since 2008.

Jay Cutler-friendly staff: At least on the surface, it appears that the new staff is Cutler-friendly it its hiring of offensive coordinator Adam Gase and quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains.

According to multiple sources, Cutler started to grow close to Gase after spending considerable time with the former Denver Broncos offensive coordinator at the wedding of former Bears quarterbacks coach Shane Day, a disciple of former Bears coordinator Mike Martz. Cutler has wanted to work with Gase for a long time. Interestingly, Martz tried to bring aboard Gase back in 2010 as the quarterbacks coach, but the Denver Broncos wouldn’t allow him out of his contract, which led to the hiring of Day.

It goes even deeper than that, though.

Back in 2012, Cutler wanted former Bears coach Lovie Smith to hire Loggains, but he wasn’t allowed out of his contract with the Tennessee Titans. Cutler and Loggains have a close personal relationship, according to sources, and both the quarterback and coach have wanted to work with one another for quite some time.

So while Fox and Pace have been noncommittal regarding Cutler, the club’s recent hires indicate the team ultimately wants to make things work with the quarterback.

Amari Cooper high on Mike Groh: The Alabama receiver complimented Bears assistant coach Groh for his attention to detail, according to this piece by ESPNChicago.com colleague Jeff Dickerson.

“He’s really diligent in the way he wants to teach us,” said Cooper, projected as a first-round pick. He’ll go out and watch a lot of film on other guys, NFL wide receivers, and come back and try to teach it to us so we can be the best we can be.”

Groh worked with Cooper at Alabama from 2011-12 as the team’s receivers coach and recruiting coordinator.
