NFL free agency: Bears' updated 2025 roster after first wave of moves
The first wave of NFL free agency is in the books, where the Chicago Bears made some moves to strengthen some the trenches and fill some key positions of need through signings and trades.
Chicago overhauled the trenches with the additions of offensive linemen Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Drew Dalman, as well as defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.
Although, the work is far from done for Bears general manager Ryan Poles, as there are still some roster moves to be made heading into the second wave of free agency and ahead of the 2025 NFL draft.
With the slew of moves made over the last week -- from signings to trades -- the roster looks different than it did even a week ago. Here's a look at where the Bears roster stands following the first wave of free agency.
