Bears Plan to Re-Sign C Olin Kreutz


In addition to signing head coach Lovie Smith to a two-year extension, the Chicago Bears are looking to re-sign veteran center Olin Kreutz, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.

Kreutz, who turns 34 in June, has spent his entire 13-year career with the Bears, who selected him out of the University of Washington in the third-round (64th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft.

Kreutz earned $2.333 million in 2010, the final year of a three-year extension that was signed in 2007.

A veteran of 191 games, Kreutz has started 134 consecutive games, the third-longest streak among NFL centers.
