The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the start of their offseason program, which begins Monday. New head coach Ben Johnson will meet with his team for the first time at Halas Hall to begin preparation for the 2025 season.
General manager Ryan Poles made some big moves during free agency, especially when it came to overhauling the trenches. That includes the trades for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, as well as the signings of center Drew Dalman, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.
