Despite a subdued presence at OTAs, the Bears’ 2026 draft class, including former Iowa center Logan Jones, may have more to offer than initial appearances suggest. Observers point to the limitations of spring practices, rather than a lack of talent, for the rookies’ relatively low profile.

The Chicago Bears have set their sights on speed and athleticism this free agency period, focusing on bolstering the defense with quicker, more agile talent. General Manager Ryan Poles and Coach Ben Johnson hope these moves will translate into a more dynamic on-field presence and success in the coming season.
