Darnell Wright will cost Bears a pretty penny (and he's worth it)

Part of the Chicago Bears' impressive resurgence this year has been the improved play of their offensive line.

All three of their off-season acquisitions on the interior have turned out exactly how general manager Ryan Poles hoped. And second-round pick Ozzie Trupilo has entrenched himself as a viable option at left tackle.

But the lone holdover from last year's rotation, right tackle Darnell Wright, has been just as good, if not better, than the rest. Per Pro Football Focus, Wright now ranks 10th among all qualifying tackles in pressures allowed at 17. His 97.9 pass-block efficiency rating, per their site, is tied for sixth-best.
