Report: Bears bolster OL, add Reiff on 1-year deal worth up to $12.5M

The Chicago Bears reached an agreement with former Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Riley Reiff on a one-year deal worth up to $12.5 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

At least $10 million of Reiff's total contract is likely to be earned, Schefter adds.

Reiff spent last season as the Bengals' right tackle but has experience playing on the left side, too. He started twelve games for Cincinnati before an ankle injury cut his season short.

The Bears will be Reiff's third stop in the NFC North. The 33-year-old began his career as a first-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2012 before spending 2017-2020 with the Minnesota Vikings.

Reiff joins a Bears tackle group that consists of 2021 second-rounder Teven Jenkins, rookie Braxton Jones, veteran Julie'n Davenport, and Larry Borom, among others.

Chicago allowed 58 total sacks last season, including 36 with Justin Fields under center.
