Former Bears head coach Dave Wannstedt discusses why Nick Foles’ extensive experience in big games will be an asset to him and the Bears as the 2020 season continues and the Bears contend for a playoff berth.
Given the Bears' issues on the offensive line, and at left guard specifically, some recently-tweeted news from Adam Schefter should have Ryan Pace and co.'s full attention:
Spain's a six-year pro, originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Titans back in 2015. After going to Buffalo on a one-year deal in 2019, he signed a three-year, $15 million extension this offseason. Spain was benched in favor of Cody Ford in Week 3, however, and has missed the last two games with a foot injury – though that's not expected to be a longterm issue.

Spain tweeted the news, in a sense, this morning:
Spain makes a ton of sense for the Bears, who could desperately use some help bolstering their offensive line. Rashaad Coward had a rough time against the Panthers in his first start for James Daniels, who's out for the rest of 2020 with a pec injury. Spain's play has been inconsistent and he doesn't grade especially well as a run-blocker, but the guard hasn't allowed a sack in two years (according to PFF) and is still a clear upgrade to Coward or Alex Bars. As the expression goes, beggars can't be choosers, and the Bears can use all the help they can get.
