This stud offensive line should be atop the Bears' list this off-season
The Chicago Bears may be eyeing offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer as a potential addition in free agency. With the team in need of help on the offensive line, Schweitzer's experience and versatility make him an attractive target. The Bears' offensive line coach, Chris Morgan, has a history with Schweitzer, having coached him during his time with the Atlanta Falcons.
Schweitzer had a strong start to his career in Atlanta, starting 36 games over three seasons at both left and right guard positions. In 2020, he signed with the Washington Commanders and had a standout season, primarily playing left guard. Despite dealing with injuries in 2021, Schweitzer started five games and finished the season strong at center.
While Schweitzer will be turning 30 this season, offensive linemen often play well into their thirties. He has a wealth of starting experience at multiple positions, with over 2,000 snaps at left guard, almost 2,000 at right guard, and over 400 at center. Though he has dealt with injuries in recent years, Schweitzer finished the 2022 season healthy and in good form.
Schweitzer's past success with Morgan and his ability to play multiple positions make him a solid choice for the Bears as they look to bolster their offensive line. Though his signing may not be flashy, Schweitzer's proven track record as a starter and his ability to step in and contribute right away make him a valuable addition to the team.
