Oh my goodness, I think I really might love this signing. The one thing I know right now is that the Bears are going to stop the run.

Grady at nose is the better spot for him in the twilight of his career, nice fit next to Gervon Dexter

Now that the Bears have invested along their offensive and defensive line we can start to imagine the funnest scenario possible at pick 10:

The Bears are not messing around in the trenches at all.

3 new starting OL and 2 starting DL already onboarded.

It’s typically not a good sign if you’re one of the teams that spends a fortune in the early hours of free agency.

… but I really like all the Bears’ decisions so far. competency on the lines is worth overpaying for.

Dayo Odeyingbo to Chicago!!

Odeyingbo, 25,6'6, 286lbs was the 54th pick in 2021

A 1st-round pick if he didn't tear his achilles pre-draft, he hasn't missed a game in 3 years

He plays mostly DE, but slides inside on passing downs

He peaked with 8 sacks in 2023 and had 3 in 2024

Splash: The Patriots are taking the biggest defender off the market, as Eagles DT Milton Williams lands in New England, per me and Mike Garafolo.

Williams gets a $26M per year.

The Drew Dalman contract is better than I imagined for the Bears. It's basically two years guaranteed at $14 million, which has a ton of value and allows them to draft and develop a center behind him.

It sounds like Milton Williams to Carolina isn't quite done yet. Still room for a change there.

Words used by a league evaluator/former center to describe new Bears C Drew Dalman to me:

“Tough as hell”

“Athletic”

“Smart”

“Physical”

Drew Dalman to the Bears is so huge for the development of Caleb Williams. Having a veteran center is such an underrated quality for a young QB.

No early free agent signings that will affect the top 10 of the NFL Draft yet.

Chicago does feel like an Ashton Jeanty or defensive line landing spot after securing the interior of the OL.

Can take OL off the board for Chiefs in Rd1, I think.

Ben Johnson's first order of business in Chicago was exactly what it needed to be: Fix the interior of the offensive line.

My first-round pick for the Bears this morning on @theathletic.bsky.social

Jeanty, Ashton
