The Chicago Bears boosted their offensive line heading into training camp with the addition of veteran offensive tackle Riley Reiff.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s a one-year deal worth up to $12.5 million with the expected value expected to be $10 million.
Reiff has been solid at left tackle during his decade-long career, which includes a most recent stop with the Cincinnati Bengals. Reiff started 12 games for Cincinnati before landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury in December.
When looking at the state of Chicago’s offensive line, Reiff projects to be their starting left tackle in 2022. Although he can play both left and right tackle, giving him some versatility.
As you can expect, there was plenty of reaction to the Reiff signing. Whether it’s optimism about getting an experienced starting tackle or criticism about the Bears overspending.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting to the Reiff move:
