The Chicago Bears are expected to sign offensive lineman Lucas Patrick, which makes him the first offensive line move in free agency for general manager Ryan Poles.
The offensive line is one of Chicago’s top needs this offseason as protecting quarterback Justin Fields remains a top priority. Patrick’s addition is the first of a few potential moves this offseason.
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.
