Chicago Bears

The Bears will be trying to replace retired guard Kyle Long with either Rashaad Coward, Seahawks draft bust Germain Ifedi (signed as a free agent), or rookie seventh-round pick Lachavious Simmons, so that’s certainly a competition Warford could step into and immediately become the favorite to win. Coward has played just 14 games in the NFL, starting 10 of them last year at right guard.

Chicago also has an abundance of draft picks now that the Khalil Mack trade is behind them. They own each of their selections in all seven rounds of the 2021 draft, plus extra picks in rounds four (via the Minnesota Vikings) and seven (from the Las Vegas Raiders). The Bears stand to gain as many as three comp picks in the sixth round, too, so they’ll have plenty of ammunition should Warford catch their interest.
