The Chicago Bears are kind of following the path I figured they’d take at offensive tackle so far this offseason. With two veteran priced starters in a cap strapped season I knew one would be cut, and the Bears parted ways with starting right tackle Bobby Massie.
That move saved the Bears around $5 million in cap space, but they ended up giving most of that savings to Germain Ifedi, who was playing on a 1-year, $1.0475 million deal in 2020. After Ifedi started every game for the Bears last year, 10 at right guard then their last 7 at right tackle, the Bears rewarded him with a 1-year, $4.
