MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — At some point in the next few months, the Bears will probably sign a kicker.
Eddy Pineiro is ready for it.
He certainly made progress in his first season with the Bears and got the endorsement of general manager Ryan Pace at the end of it, but Pineiro figures he’ll have to fight for the position again this offseason.
“Last year I had to compete against eight different guys, so I don’t think that’s going to change,” Pineiro told the Sun-Times. “Hopefully it’s not eight again, but I definitely expect competition. If I’m the only guy, that would be a blessing, but I expect competition.
