Bears face crucial decision at center: Should they resign or replace him.

The Chicago Bears have spent a lot of time trying to find a stabilizing piece at center. Ryan Pace struggled to find one his last couple of years here, resulting in the rise of Sam Mustipher. Ryan Poles took a different approach with Lucas Patrick but that didn’t have the results he would have hoped for.

Entering the 2024 season, the Chicago Bears look to have a pretty good offensive line. Tackles Darnell Wright and Braxton Jones are both young and look the part. Wright looks like he could become one of the best tackles in the league if he continues his upward trajectory. At guard, Teven Jenkins is a mauler when healthy, and Nate Davis flashed some good games in a season riddled with injuries and personal tragedy.

The Chicago Bears need some depth behind these pieces, but even more glaring is the hole at center. If they want this offensive line to come together, they need a man in the middle to anchor the group.

There are multiple avenues on how to approach this, but it will be curious to see which one Poles takes.
