New Bears Offensive Linemen

In this post I will go over some of the offensive linemen the Bears have added this offseason and make my prediction of who will win the five offensive line positions.

Over the past offseason the Bears have added several offensive linemen through free agency. Add that with their current offensive linemen on the roster and the Bears could contend to have one of the better offensive linemen in the NFL this upcoming year. Something else to be aware of is that a lot of analysts are picking the Bears to draft an offensive Linemen with their first pick in this weeks draft.

 Manny Ramirez

The Bears just recently signed Ramirez who has been with the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos since entering the NFL in 2007. There has been a trend this year of John Fox and Ryan Pace signing players that used to play for Fox in Denver. I think Ramirez is a solid veteran that could play center and fill in in case of an injury.

Ted Larsen

The Bears signed Larsen around the same time they signed Ramirez. Larsen is a natural center but can also play guard. He is still young at 28 years old and has a lot of NFL experience. He has started 57 games for both the Bucs and the Cardinals since 2010. Larsen is a guy that will compete for starting center job with Grasu.

Here are my predictions for who will win the five offensive line positions for the Bears.

LT: Charles Leno Jr.: The Bears really like him at left tackle.
LG: Matt Slauson: Getting to play a full year at guard will be nice after moving around last year.    
C: Ted Larsen: I think Grasu still needs some time to adjust in the NFL
RG: Kyle Long: Moving back to guard will be huge for the Bears
RT: Bobby Massie: The newcomer will take over nicely for Long
