The Chicago Tribune expects the Bears to go after free agent LT Jermon Bushrod.
The Bears are in the market for an upgrade on J'Marcus Webb, but finding one could prove difficult. By the time the No. 20 pick comes around, Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Oklahoma's Lane Johnson could all be gone. Alabama's D.J. Fluker is a right tackle. Enter Bushrod, who has a connection to current Bears OC Aaron Kromer from their time together in New Orleans and checks in as our No. 9 free agent tackle. The cap-strapped Saints aren't likely to be able to lock down Bushrod before he hits the market.
