Chicago Bears sign Amini Silatolu

Adam Caplan of ESPN is reporting that the Chicago Bears have signed offensive guard Amini Silatolu to a one year contract. He's also reporting that the Bears' plan is to have him compete at the left guard position that has been manned by rookie Cody Whitehair during mini camp and OTAs. The 27 year old Silatolu could be seen as a replacement for Manny Ramirez, after Ramirez surprisingly retired after spending about 2 months with the Bears this offseason.

Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Bears are hoping that Whitehair can win the starting center job, so we're to assume that Ted Larsen and Silatolu would be vying for the LG spot.
