Getting Youne blood would be a very good idea. However I dont agree with replacing Olin. Lets see what Olin can do surrounded by some real talent.

Please- Olin's been getting kicked in the can for 3 years now.

In 2010 their is several good young lineman that could be pricey, but obviously needed if we want to see Cutler develope. Here's who I would target, these 3 are unrestricted Free Agents. Kansas City Chiefs Center : Rudy Niswanger: 6'5 320 Starting for his first time this year and is really playing as good as any center in the NFL. The Chiefs coaches/Media are saying he's their best/most consistent lineman. He's young, powerful, nasty, and makes all the line calls to a Tee. He hasn't given up a sack yet. I watched a Chiefs game a few weeks back and the TV announcers we're saying this guy is their best lineman and one of the best in the AFC and one of the only bright spots on the Chiefs offense this year. Tampa Bay Bucs: Right Tackle Jeremy Trueblood 6'6 325 pounds of nastiness. Kick Chris Williams and his finesse pass blocking ( Which has been solid in my opinion) to Left tackle where he belongs. Trueblood would be our enforcer and would be a perfect run blocking mauler the Turner Power O requires at the Right Tackle position. St. Louis Rams: Right Guard Richie Incognito 6'5 330. He's a heck of a run blocker and is improving his pass blocking technique which is already solid. He's on a horrible offense team and bad offensive line which makes all of them look bad. The guy would look great in in a Bears unigorm, knocking lineman around and this guy plays to the whistle, something no one this team does offensively except Josh Beekman. Garza would be a backup on any other team just like he was in Atlanta. Omiyale will be a solid backup LT and Kreutz will still be on the team, just on the bench. His enforcer/nasty style of playing is ancient history. He will provide great leadership and be a good experienced backup. James Martin could be the backup swing tackle and we have gotten better, while still keeping experienced backups. Our starting line will be C.Williams-J.Beekman-R.Niswanger-R.Incognito-J.Trueblood Our backups Omiyele Louis- Kreutz- Garza- Martin Turners offensive scheme needs the size.

Solid post, but here's what I think should happen.

Sign RT Winston Justice (6'6" 320, 25 years old) from the Eagles. Winston was a 2nd round pick in 2005, and has had plenty of opportunites to show his worth in the place of Shawn Andrews.  Justice is a guy the Eagles would love to keep but after signing Andrews to a 7 year extension in 2006 it doesn't seem likely to pay Justice starter money to sit on the bench.

Sign LG Logan Mankins (6'4" 310, 27 years old) from the Patriots.  Mankins has been an absolute stud since being drafted in 2004.  The Paetriots have been famous for letting high priced free agents walk, and it seems they planned for this on in last years draft by selecting Rich Orhnberger out of Penn State.  Remember they also have an additional first round pick that they aquired from Oakland and may want to put their money into other key free agents including Ben Watson, Vince Wilfork, Kevin Faulk, Derrick Burgess, or Leigh Bodden.

With those two additions our line could look somthing like this:

Williams, Mankins, Beekman, Shaffer, Justice

We could then use Garza as a swing Guard, and Lance Luis and Omiyale as backup Tackles.

I hate to bring it up again, but neither of these guys will be FAs if the CBA isn't reached. With a lack of young talent on the market and the lack of a salary cap, the price on the guys who are available (who will be in at least their seventh season next year) will be through the roof. I think we're better off finding guys from our current roster and the draft.

BearFanDan1:

If a CBA isn't reached they will be chomping at the bit to test out free agency. It will be a uncapped year and a lot of teams can spend as much as they want which means more money for more players.
It's common sense dude. BUSINESS 101 my friend.

I hate to keep piling it on you but if there's a uncapped year teams don't have a salary cap, which means they can spend as much money as they want to. The good players will get paid major money while the special teamers and backups will get low balled.
If there's a uncapped year these players will go into free agency no doubt and make some big time bucks. Get your facts straight.

If the CBA isn't reached, players wont be eligible for free agency until after their sixth season. Get your facts straight.

Hate to call you out but your wrong and here's the proof at www.footballsfuture.com/2010/fa/ol.html
Go check out the facts and get back to me. I hate when people think they are so smart and try and prove you wrong when they have no clue what their talking about.
Again go to www.footballsfuture.com/2010/fa/ol.html and you will learn something.

Jeremy Trueblood??  You remember this guy??  He pulled a UFC move on Alex Brown, elbowing him in the face a few times and OGUN gets the call for pushing him off!!! 

I like that he's nasty, but if he's got a stupid attitude like that all the time then NO.

Here's a few more that would be worth looking at. Marcus McNeill, San Diego Chargers (25) Jared Gaither, Baltimore Ravens (23) Winston Justice, Philadelphia Eagles (24) Deuce Lutui, Arizona Cardinals (26)

Im not sure i will ever forget the game Justice had against Uminyora of the Giants.  6 sacks i believe...I'll pass.
