Of all the needs that the Chicago Bears<\/a> have this off-season, adding offensive linemen to protect Caleb Williams<\/a> must remain a top priority. For all the talk about adding on defense, the fact remains that the Bears will not go anywhere if Williams is constantly under duress in 2026.<\/p>\n

Already, Chicago has traded DJ Moore<\/a> to the Buffalo Bills<\/a> for center Garrett Bradbury<\/a>, who will replace the recently retired Drew Dalman<\/a>. They also have brought back backup swing tackle Braxton Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This all being said, Chicago would do well to address the offensive line even more in free agency, and they could nab on of the Green Bay Packers<\/a>‘ remaining free agents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bleacher Report\u00a0<\/em>recently released a list of the top 50 free agents still remaining in the NFL. They also named potential landing spots for the top ten players on their list.<\/p>\n

Their number one overall free agent remaining is former Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker, and they named the Bears as a suitor:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

“Starting-caliber left tackles are always at a premium, and while Rasheed Walker isn’t elite, he is starting-caliber. Pro Football Focus\u00a0ranked him 41st among 89 qualifying offensive tackles in pass protection this past season, and Walker has appeared in all 17 games in each of the past three seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Having turned 26 in February, Walker has long-term value and room to improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“While Walker’s technique and play strength could both be improved, his 6’6”, 324-pound frame and strong movement skills are desirable. He has the baseline traits needed to grow in a variety of blocking schemes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Walker should be the top free-agent target of every team with a need at left tackle and money to spend. Dan Moore Jr., who is probably a tier below Walker, commanded a four-year, $84 million\u00a0contract a year ago.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Potential Suitors:<\/strong>\u00a0Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Walker would be an intriguing signing for the Bears. He has three seasons of experience starting at left tackle. Most importantly, he has remained healthy.<\/p>\n

That being said, he is poor run blocker and took a step back in pass protection last year. Additionally, he may cost more, in both years and dollars, than Chicago wants to pay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
