Another route the Bears could go in free agency is with Saints offensive lineman Andrus Peat, who has played at four positions (left tackle, left guard, right guard, right tackle) in his five-year career.

While Peat settled in at left guard for the Saints, he could just as easily slide into the right guard position and provide some stability in run blocking and pass protection. In 2018, Peat was named to his first career Pro Bowl for his solid play on one of the NFL’s best offensive line units. The Bears could turn to Peat for some veteran assistance.
