The Chicago Bears need to upgrade their OL. Should they target Ryan Jensen in free agency? BryanPerezNFL breaks it down. FrontOffice33 | DaBears
opens on March 14, when teams can begin negotiating contracts with players who can’t formally be signed until two days later, when free agencygets started on March 16. Usually, the most sought-after free agents agree to deals in the first 24 hours of the negotiating window. For the Chicago Bears, it’ll be a critical day in their effort to rebuild the offense around Justin Fields.
Jensen was ranked 14th among 39 centers who received a qualifying snap count by Pro Football Focus in 2021, and while he wasn’t an elite player for Tampa Bay last year, he’d be a marked upgrade from Sam Mustipher and the type of enforcer and culture changer Chicago’s offensive line needs. “If I see my guy on the ground, I’m running over there, getting him up, making sure he’s clean, ready to go. I don’t know if I saw that enough in the tape that I watched, and that’s critical. And also to protect your guy. If you see something cheap, something dirty, you need to set the tone that that’s not gonna happen, because if you do let it happen once, it’s going to happen over and over and next thing you know, your quarterback is hurt.
The Bears will have enough money under the salary cap to make a play for Jensen, whose contract is expected to be in the range of three years, $30 million, according to Spotrac. Chicago ranks 11th in available cap space entering free agency and while it’s possible Jensen’s market is stronger than what’s being predicted right now, he should remain among the team’s must-haves this March.
