haha don't get my hopes up! It hurts so much more when it doesn't happen then. Need our former boy Ryan Pace to blow it. Everyone on the Saints forum expecting to get "Pace'd"

The connections between the Bears and Saints the past few years seems uncanny. Always seem to be in the news surrounding each other.
I think at this point though, with the cap room and the fact that Cody Whitehair is a rookie and currently starting at LG, maybe they dont feel he is capable of starting quite yet. He had an average camp which is usually pretty good news regarding OL.
Sitton just fits everything about what the Bears have changed their OL to so well and the fit seems ideal:
Money: The Bears have a lot of it and have a need on the line and a rabid fan base that wants to see it resolved.
Proximity: Sitton's lived near GB for his entire professional career, his home and family and community is there. Chicago is the closest NFL city to GB.
Starting Role: Sitton could start at center or guard allowing a rookie to develop and Larsen to be the swing guard
Scheme: He's familiar with the zone-blocking scheme, has talent there and is excellent in pass protection (one of the best PP guards in the NFL)
Revenge: Division Rival Revenge Contract
