Shortly after landing Jay Cutler, the Bears signed offensive tackle Orlando Pace to a three-year deal to protect their new quarterback. Pace is a seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle. "We really feel that it gives us a very good offensive line," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said during a conference call. "We've had some real good success with veteran players -- John Tait, Fred Miller, Ruben Brown -- and we felt that Orlando is the same. Obviously, he's a potential Hall of Fame player. He expressed to us on his visit that he wants to continue to play, and he feels that his health is as good as it's been in awhile."
