Saints sign OL Lucas Patrick to 1-year deal tchieu

   
 

Patrick started 15 games for the Bears in 2023.

The New Orleans Saints and interior offensive lineman Lucas Patrick have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. Patrick is expected to sign on Monday.

Patrick, 30, went undrafted in 2016 before signing with the Green Bay Packers. Patrick has appeared in 96 games throughout his career starting in 56. The veteran lineman started 15 games for the Chicago Bears in 2023 allowing 25 total hurries without giving up a sack.

Patrick can play all positions in the interior of the line providing much-needed versatility for the Saints. New Orleans used their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to select Taliese Fuaga who has been taking the majority of snaps at left tackle during rookie minicamp. The offensive line the Saints will be rolling out with will be completely revamped from the group they had in 2023 that struggled.
