Late in the Ditka era or early in the Wanny era we were thin on the O-line and traded with the Jets for a tackle. Anyone remember his name?

Bears tackle a line problem // Trade nets tackle Mattes from Jets
Chicago Sun-Times | August 20, 1991| Dan Pompei

With the prospect of quarterbacks in body casts hanging over them, the Bears decided the immediate future should take precedence over the long term at offensive tackle.

The results were the acquisition of tackle Ron Mattes from the New York Jets for a conditional draft choice and giving up on "project" tackles Roman Matusz and Tom Backes. Matusz was one of seven players cut Monday, and Backes was switched back to defense.

If the 6-6, 302-pound Mattes makes the team, the Bears will pay the Jets an eighth-round pick next season. If Mattes gets cut, the Bears will owe the Jets nothing.
