Bears GM Ryan Poles has more salary cap space than anyone else in the NFL, and plenty of roster holes to fill.
Chicago Mayoral Poll Shows Paul Vallas Expanding Lead, With Johnson, Lightfoot and García in Tight Race for 2ndIn PFF’s mock up, they have the Bears missing out on prized left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., just like they have them missing out on Payne. And just like with the Hargrave signing, PFF predicts the Bears will come away with a pretty solid consolation prize by bringing in McGlinchey to help stabilize the offensive line.
“The Bears tried going with a stop-gap option at right tackle last season by signing veteran Riley Reiff, but he endured an injury-plagued season, and he was also average when on the field,” wrote Spielberger and Menon. “Adding McGlinchey to this line would help give the Bears a long-term solution at RT, forming a promising right side of the offensive line with Teven Jenkins.
McGlinchey may not be the flashiest player on the market, but he’s reliable. He played 94% of the 49ers’ snaps in 2022 and only gave up 27 pressures in 562 passing opportunities according to PFF.The Bears round out the list by filling another major need with a familiar face for Matt Eberflus. “Okereke reunites with his former Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator in Bears head coach Matt Eberflus after Chicago balked at former first-round pick linebacker Roquan Smith’s asking price and traded him to the Baltimore Ravens at the trade deadline,” wrote Spielberger and Menon. “Okereke earned a career-high 79.3 run-defense grade in 2022, with his 31 run-defense stops tying for 13th.”
This would make it two consecutive seasons that the Bears add a former Colts linebacker, since the team brought in Matt Adams in 2022. But Adams didn’t contribute much, defensively. Okereke has been a tackling machine over the past two seasons, with 283 stops since the start of 2021, so he should help the Bears shore up their run defense. Okereke turns 27 this summer, so he’s got a lot of football left in the tank, too.
