Make no mistake, the Bears didn’t bring Spriggs in to compete for a starting job at offensive tackle. He’s a depth signing. But if Spriggs plays well on what should be a minimum deal, he could be kept around for future seasons.

While Spriggs played left tackle at Indiana, he saw time on the right side during his time with the Packers. He could very well be the Bears’ swing tackle next season, where he could provide insurance for Leno or Bobby Massie.
