The Patriots are expected to sign Chicago Bears offensive tackle Riley Reiff, according to Diana Russini of ESPN.
The 34-year-old veteran lineman has played in the league for a decade. He was a first-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, beginning his career with the Lions.
After four years in Detroit, Reiff spent three seasons in Minnesota, followed by short stints with the Bengals and Bears.
He’s started 149 of the 163 games in his career. He started 10 games for the Bears last year.
The Patriots have made additional depth at the offensive tackle position a priority this offseason.
