As anyone who has seen any Chicago Bears game over the past few seasons, the team is in desperate need of an upgrade at the offensive line. There are a lot of big names available like Orlando Brown and Taylor Lewan. However, they will command big bucks.

Jermaine Eluemunor can have a big impact on the offensive line but without the hefty price tag. He could be the epitome of an under-the-radar signing. When people talk about the top free agent offensive linemen available they do not mention Eluemunor.

The six-year pro has played for three teams — the Baltimore Ravens, the New England Patriots, and the Raiders. Last season he had a career year. He played in 941 snaps and gave up just three sacks and 26 quarterback pressures. In 1,946 career snaps, he has given up just nine sacks and 53 pressures.

Eluemunor can provide the Bears with a quality right tackle, something they sorely lack. However, he is flexible enough to play other positions on the line. He has played 1,082 snaps at right tackle, 534 at right guard, 11 at left guard, and 296 at left tackle. As we’ve seen with Chicago, offensive linemen can go down and an offense needs to have options on the unit. Eluemunor gives them options and can be a big asset for the Bears’ offensive line.
