The Bears talked a big game last offseason when planning out Caleb Williams’ development. This year, money talks.

Chicago is signing free agency's top center Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million deal, per CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Jones reported the 26-year-old took less money to play under Johnson and block for 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams.

Claimed off waivers this offseason by the Bears, Jordan McFadden spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Chargers up until now. He appeared in only one game in the 2024 season. McFadden should be viewed as a depth piece heading into this offseason.
