We’re just a few hours away from the fun! The early negotiating period for 2025 free agency officially starts at 11:00 a.m. (CT), and at 11:01 a.m., league insiders are sure to fire off all their saved Tweets about the news they’ve been sworn to secrecy about.
The Chicago Bears got a jump on their roster last week by trading for offensive linemen Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney, but there’s still plenty of work to do.
Check out our transaction tracker right here for a running list of all the Bears’ moves.
We’ll update this news and rumor tracker as the reports relating to the Bears start trickling in today.
- Center Drew Dalman is a Bear. (link)
- EDGE Haasan Reddick is heading to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (link)
- C/G Evan Brown re-signed with the Arizona Cardinals.
- Khalil Mack agreed to a one-year deal to stay with the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Twitter is down, so here’s a reminder that many of us are also on Blue Sky. (You can find us here!)
- Dalman to the Bears has so much buzz that one insider thinks it’ll be the first deal reported. (link)
- Brad Biggs did a spot on 670 The Score this morning, and the only two new nuggets were that Vic Fangio and the Philadelphia Eagles could want Khalil Mack to replace Josh Sweat, who they expect to lose, and that the Bears might have interest in recently cut by the Washington Commanders, defensive tackle Jonathan Allen.
- Plenty of buzz surrounding Khalil Mack and Drew Dalman to the Bears. (link)
