There's sentiment that Olin Kreutz re-signing with the Bears will be a slam dunk whenever the lockout ends and free agency begins. However, that may not be the case. Kreutz is on the record stating his desire to return for a 14th season. With the lockout dragging into July, the Bears might face some competition for Kreutz and will need to carefully plot out how to handle negotiations with him as soon as free agency opens.
