The Chicago Bears found a new offensive lineman in Lucas Patrick on the second day of the legal tampering period ahead of free agency. Patrick fills an important need within the interior of the offensive line.
Patrick, an undrafted free agent by the Packers in 2016, spent his first year on the practice squad. He started just six games in the three years that followed, but he’s been Green Bay’s starting right guard since 2020. Patrick brings versatility to the position, as he’s played right guard, left guard and center.
Patrick’s signing comes after former right guard James Daniels agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Steelers. He could be seen as Daniels’ replacement, he has the potential to play three different positions on Chicago’s offensive line. But what exactly are the Bears getting in Patrick?
We spoke to Zach Kruse of Packers Wire, who gave us the rundown on what we can expect from the Bears’ new offensive lineman and why he’s a good fit for Chicago.
