The Chicago Bears must keep a watch on other teams’ free-agent situations in order to discover the right players for their roster. The Miami Dolphins have some major decisions to make this offseason, and whether they re-sign or let go in free agency may have an impact on the Bears’ plans. What situations should Bears fans be paying attention to?
3. Will the Miami Dolphins offensive line provide possibilities for the Chicago Bears?
One of the most interesting aspects to observe with the Miami Dolphins will be how they manage the centre position. When they signed Connor Williams from the Dallas Cowboys and shifted him to centre, it appeared that they had discovered a hidden treasure. However, he tore his ACL in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. He is now scheduled to become a free agent. What happens?
With such a late-season injury, he will miss the first week. Will the Dolphins bring him back or move on? Do the Chicago Bears have a good chance of signing Williams to a contract? I hope he gets back to full health and looks as good as he used to. He’s still 26 years old.
Isaiah Wynn has hopped about and did not live up to his first-round draft status, but he has played left tackle, left guard, and right guard. Last season, he started six games at left guard for the Miami Dolphins. With guard problems and a desire to add competition at left tackle, the Bears’ addition of Isaiah Wynn would check all of the requirements.
Kendall Lamm is another free agent. He spent the majority of the year supporting Terron Armstead and stepping in for him while he was injured. If the Bears signed him, he would compete with Braxton Jones in training camp.
Jonotthan Harrison did not play more than 10 snaps last season, but he has 2,666 snaps at centre in his NFL career and is a free agent, so he could be evaluated this offseason. Robert Hunt is the last candidate to consider, but Miami is expected to re-sign him to a starter contract, and the Bears would not pay him given Nate Davis’ salary.
