After what has been a very uneventful offseason in Chicago, the Bears have put thrown down the gauntlet in regards to the upcoming season. Soon after trading for Jay Cutler, they also signed free agent Orlando Pace. Pace is expected to be an improvement to the Bears offensive line, whether it be on the right or left side.

Both these players are ones that many Vikings fans wanted to see in purple. In 2009, they’ll get to see plenty of them as they play against the Vikings.

Torry Holt anyone?
