Bears Add OT Pace To Protect Cutler

Posted on April 2, 2009 by James WNo Comments

Shortly after acquiring quarterback Jay Cutler from the Broncos, the Chicago Bears wasted no time in protecting his blind side adding free agent offensive tackle Orlando Pace who was cut loose from the Rams earlier in the off-season.  The terms of the deal were not disclosed, however it is rumored that the contract spans three seasons.

Pace is slotted at left tackle which should move Chris Williams to right tackle.  Pace has battled injury problems each of the last two seasons but is a great upgrade to the Bears offensive line if he can remain healthy for most or all of the season.
