The Chicago Bears’ season came to a bitter end in the divisional round. After a hard-fought battle against the Los Angeles Rams, the Bears fell short in overtime 20-17. It marked the end of a memorable season for Chicago — one that saw them advance to the divisional round for the first time since the 2010 season.
The Bears booked their spot in the playoffs by clinching the NFC North title. They finished the regular season with an 11-6 record, marking their first division championship since 2018.
Chicago’s defense played a key role in the team’s success in 2025. The defensive line was by no means spectacular, but they got the job done more often than not.
Chicago Bears announce roster move on Tuesday
The Bears front office has been busy tinkering with the roster following their season-ending loss to the Rams. This includes changes on the defensive side of the ball. Chicago announced its latest move on Tuesday.
“The #Bears have signed DL Jamree Kromah to a Reserve/Future contract,” Bears Communications posted on X.

Kromah, who has bounced in and out of the Bears’ practice squad for the past two seasons, is not a game-changer for Chicago’s defensive line. The decision to sign the 25-year-old to a reserve/future contract is more of a low-risk roster-building move for the offseason.
At this point, the Bears are stacking up their roster. They are looking to add depth to multiple positions for their 90-man roster for OTAs (Organized Team Activities) and training camp.
This move has cheap upside for the Bears, who will now want to see if Kromah can excel during the offseason. If he does, the former James Madison Dukes standout could potentially earn himself a spot in the final roster. However, if Kromah fails to impress, the Bears will have an option to cut him loose at minimal cost.
