Chicago Bears must look at these remaining free agents

Chicago Bears remaining free agent targets: OT Alejandro Villanueva
For now, it seems like the Bears are going to add a few different names to their offensive line and try to come up with the best starting five. We know Cody Whitehair and James Daniels will be two of those five, and Sam Mustipher has a great shot to be in there as well.
That leaves the Bears attempting to assemble the best two offensive tackles. Charles Leno returns, although he may be on a short leash this year. The Bears re-signed Germain Ifedi, who has experience at multiple positions, as well as Elijah Wilkinson. But, still, they don’t have a concrete answer at their tackle positions.
Longtime Pittsburgh Steelers starting tackle Alejandro Villanueva is still available, and it doesn’t seem as though he will be back with the black and yellow.
The 2-time Pro Bowl selection has started every game for the Steelers over the last five seasons and is as dependable as they come, health-wise. He may have taken a step back in the last year or so, but the 32-year-old veteran could still provide the Bears with an upgrade at a tackle position.
Considering the guys they have up front right now, he would be immediate competition, if not a starter from the get-go.
