The Bears announced that they’ve reached agreement on a two-year deal with offensive lineman Eric Kush. Kush, who had been scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next month, is now locked up through the 2018 campaign.

The 27-year-old Kush just wrapped his first season with the Bears after the club claimed off waivers before last season began. Originally slated to serve as a reserve interior lineman, Kush ended up starting four games and appearing in eight total contests after injuries hit Chicago’s front five. Overall, Kush played on 279 offensive snaps for the Bears in 2016, and even chipped in with 27 special teams snaps.
Kush, a sixth-round pick in the 2013 draft, has bounced around during his NFL career, spending time with the Chiefs, Buccaneers, Panthers, Texans, and Rams before landing with the Bears. All told, Kush has played in 18 games and picked up five starts.
Chicago has 26 other free agents on its board this offseason, but only one of those players is another offensive lineman like Kush: veteran guard/center Ted Larsen.
