A”Massie”ing a complete Bears offense: how does Bobby Massie fit into Chicago’s future plans?
Back when he was originally signed in 2016, Chicago Bears right tackle Bobby Massie was rightfully seen as a short term stop gap in most circles. The 28-year-old veteran, 26 at the time, had enough of a four-year sample size with the Cardinals to discern that he wasn’t going to be a long term answer for the Bears as a book end. That they were going to eventually sign or develop someone to play in place of Massie.
Two years later, with beyond thin tackle depth in general, Massie gets to play out his original three-year contract as a starter. And, more importantly, there’s no immediate Bears player chomping at the bit to supplant him.
