In the NFL, you can never have too much offensive line depth. The Bears are following that model by signing interior offensive lineman Earl Watford, according to Adam Green. No contract figures have been revealed yet.
A former top reserve for the Cardinals, Watford has 21 starts in the last four years in Arizona: proving he’s versatile and experienced enough to play both guard and center. The 27-year-old former 2013 fourth-round pick is no lock to make Chicago’s roster, though. But, he figures to factor in heavily should injury issues arise up front with players such as Kyle Long still recovering from a rough past two seasons.
