Ranking 5 best free agent centers Chicago Bears must consider

3. Can Chicago Bears make up for missing on Bradley Bozeman?

The Chicago Bears should have signed Bradley Bozeman last off-season. He was a good fit, he was available, he did not sign for big money, but the team knew Lucas Patrick more because of his connection to Luke Getsy.

Even the Carolina Panthers did not realize what they had, and they did not start Bozeman right away. Still, you saw the Panthers' season start to turn around when they made the move to Bozeman. He brought the consistency in the middle, and things started to mold around him.

You would think that the Panthers will want Bozeman back, but Bozeman also has to be looking long-term. It was surpsiring to see how soft his market was last offseason. So, if someone comes in with a generous deal, it would be hard for him to pass it up.

He has been a capable stater for two straight years, so he does not have much more to prove at this point. Why would the team not make up for passing on him last year, and give him the deal he deserves this year?
