(MCT) — Chilo Rachal was scooped up as a bargain in free agency, and he's the only newcomer who appears to have a shot at winning a starting job on the Chicago Bears ' offensive line.

The former second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers signed a one-year, minimum-salary benefit deal that will count only $540,000 against the team’s salary cap.

Rachal comes with plenty of experience, making 38 starts over the past four seasons with the Niners. He’s lined up behind veteran Chris Spencer, who spent last season at right guard but has been shifted to left guard.
