Bears worked out 8 free agents today

I saw something that they had 8 players tryout at HH today, none were OL. Which makes sense it's to late to really just bring in some street OL to try and fix this mess. Not sure you could really trade mid season.

Apparently at least 4 of those 8 were primarily return people. VJJ has 100% lost that job.

Sadly not all 8 were centers

At this point we won't see a quality OL signed.  That ship has sailed for 2024.  We might possibly find an undrafted kid to sign to the practice squad but that's about it.  Yesterday I looked over the remaining veteran OL who have been left unsigned by all 32 NFL teams... Ric it is a steaming pile of crap.  There is a reason why no NFL team has touched these dudes.  They suck, worse than the players we already have.  I figure the ball is in Pole's court in 2025 to (finally) give the OL the attention it needs.  He won't do it right on the cheap.  It will take real investment of draft and cap resources.  And just drafting one dude is not gonna get it done.  

For years I've been amazed by how some people think you can just cobble together an OL on the cheap and it's all "good" because, well you know, folks don't value the unit... it's not the sexy draft pick.  But then they wonder why the offense under-performs at the skill positions.  It ain't rocket-science.  If you want those glitzy dudes to excel then build a foundation (offensive line) that allows them to play to their ceilings.  We have not done that here in Chicago.  2025 is the year to finally get 'er done.  Then watch this offense with Caleb take off and shine for the next 10+ years.

Nah, normally I'm used to my stuff being trashed so being moved is a step up
