One of the San Francisco 49ers' top unrestricted free agents may head to Soldier Field. According to ESPN's Dianna Russini, the Chicago Bears are targeting right tackle Mike McGlinchey in free agency.
"The two sides are talking and hoping to get a deal done, per sources," wrote Russini.

McGlinchey said he expected to agree to a new deal with someone quickly once Monday's negotiating window started. That began at 9 a.m. PT.
"We got a lot of intel coming off of the week at the Combine and all that stuff, what's going on and what we can expect to happen," McGlinchey said last week on KNBR. "I think once Monday hits, I'll probably have a pretty quick deal and a pretty quick decision to make and, hopefully, be signed by the first day of free agency."
At the NFL Scouting Combine, general manager John Lynch expressed his pessimism regarding McGlinchey's potential return.
"That stinks. But could he miss his market? Sure," Lynch said in Indianapolis. "And then, would we be interested? Of course we would. But I don't see that happening. I see him being a coveted player."
The 49ers made McGlinchey the No. 9 overall pick in 2018. He has been the team's starter since, starting all 69 of his regular-season appearances.
