The Chicago Bears have made significant strides in improving their offensive line this offseason, addressing a unit that struggled severely last year. Key moves included trading for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, extending Jackson's contract, and signing Drew Dalman. The draft saw the addition of tackle Ozzy Trapilo and guard Luke Newman, further bolstering the front. Thuney's new contract puts him among the top-paid guards, which reflects the Bears' commitment to enhancing their pass protection and run blocking.

While Darnell Wright delivered strong performance at right tackle, the rest of the line faced challenges, including multiple injuries and inconsistent play. The Bears' quarterbacks endured excessive pressure, compounded by running backs failing to generate yards before contact. With Thuney, Dalman, and Jackson projected to form a formidable interior trio, the Bears are optimistic about replicating the successful offensive schemes seen under coach Ben Johnson in Detroit. This transformation could mark a turning point for Chicago’s offense in the upcoming season.
