ESPN originally reported it, and now the Sun-Times is confirming it, tackle Orlando Pace and the Bears have agreed to terms.

The deal is expected to be for either two or three years. Pace will play left tackle, moving last year’s first-round pick, Chris Williams, to right.

The move, quite possibly, makes drafting a tackle this year in the early rounds unnecessary. Fittingly, the Bears gave away all their picks.

UPDATE: It’s a three-year deal according to the Bears’ official Web site.
