The Chicago Bears are focused on rebuilding their offensive line, which has been a major point of concern in recent years. To address this issue, they have crafted two plans—Plan A and Plan B—that aim to bolster the line through free-agent acquisitions, trades, and potentially draft picks. The Bears are seeking help from two teams that have experienced recent success with their offensive lines: the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens.
Plan A: Trade for Help from the Chiefs
Plan A centers on targeting the Kansas City Chiefs, who are known for their ability to build strong, well-coached offensive lines. Despite their recent Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs have a few players on the line who could be available for trade. The Bears are particularly interested in adding a veteran to protect quarterback Justin Fields and provide stability to their front five. One potential target is **Orlando Brown Jr.**, the left tackle who helped anchor the Chiefs’ line during their Super Bowl runs. Brown has experience in high-pressure games and could offer immediate protection for Fields, who has struggled with pass protection in his first two seasons.
Another potential trade target from Kansas City could be **Joe Thuney**, a proven guard who excels in both the run and pass game. Adding a veteran like Thuney would instantly improve the interior of the Bears’ offensive line, creating a more balanced attack and offering Fields more time to make plays.
Plan B: Targeting Ravens Talent
If the Chiefs’ trade prospects don’t come to fruition, the Bears are eyeing the Baltimore Ravens for possible acquisitions. The Ravens have long been known for their physical, run-oriented offensive line play. Players like **Ronnie Stanley**, the Ravens’ left tackle, could be a valuable addition. Though Stanley has dealt with injuries in recent seasons, when healthy, he is one of the best in the league at his position and could provide the stability the Bears desperately need on the blindside.
Another option from Baltimore could be **Kevin Zeitler**, an experienced right guard who has been a consistent performer throughout his career. Zeitler could help solidify the right side of the Bears’ offensive line, improving both run blocking and pass protection.
In both plans, the Bears are aiming for proven talent—veterans who can contribute immediately and bring leadership to an offensive line that has struggled with consistency. By bolstering their front five, the Bears hope to create a more effective offense, giving Justin Fields the time and support needed to take his game to the next level.
