The Chicago Bears have made significant strides in revamping their offensive line this offseason, addressing a critical need after allowing a staggering 68 sacks last year, the highest in the league. Notable acquisitions include guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson through trades, and center Drew Dalman as a free-agent signing. This effort reflects a commitment to protect quarterback Caleb Williams in his second season and provide a fresh start for new head coach Ben Johnson and his staff.

Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle emphasized the importance of the offensive line's performance, noting their proactive approach in free agency. The Bears also selected offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo and guard Luke Newman in the draft, demonstrating their focus on building depth and competition within the offensive unit. Adding experienced players like Thuney not only elevates the team's play but also fosters a leadership culture within a previously struggling offensive line.
