The Chicago Bears continue to add to the offensive line
The Bears needed to add to their offensive line after center Drew Dalman suddenly retired at 27, leaving a massive void. Thankfully, the Bears acquired center Garrett Bradbury from the New England Patriots (in principle) for a 2027 fifth-round pick to replace Dalman.
The Bears have a decent offensive line to protect quarterback Caleb Williams, with left guard Joe Thuney, right guard Jonah Jackson, and right tackle Darnell Wright also returning. Protecting Williams is the top priority, as the third-year quarterback from the University of Southern California is emerging as a pillar of the team.
