Bears Sign Panthers Tackle Frank Omiyale
The Bears made their first activity in free agency this morning, signing Panthers T Frank Omiyale to a four-year, $14 million deal.
Omiyale is a young guy at 26, with four years of NFL experience under his belt, two with Carolina, two with Atlanta. But the 2005 fifth-round draft pick out of Tennessee Tech has started only one game — last year when T Jordan Gross went down — and played in just 10 during his short NFL career.
At 6’4-310 lbs., Omiyale is projected to play right tackle and possibly compete with John St. Clair for the starting job.
Who?
Just the kind of pick up you’d expect from Angelo.
I like it. A younger, cheaper St. Clair. Unless, of course, the Bears think he will start. In that case, we’re fucked.
