The Chicago Bears' trades for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson gives Ben Johnson two solid starters for the offensive line, with positional versatility that allows Ryan Poles to be flexible in free agency and the NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears made some big moves ahead of free agency next week, where they shored up the interior offensive line with the trades for All-Pro guard Joe Thuney and guard Jonah Jackson, which will become official at the start of the new league year on March 12.

On Tuesday, it was reported that the Bears will be sending a sixth-round pick in exchange to the Los Angeles Rams for Jonah Jackson, and they will take on his entire remaining salary after he inked a three-year, $51 million deal last offseason.
