Chicago Bears starter could be poised to cash in when NFL free agency begins
The Chicago Bears could see some major turnover this offseason.
Thanks to Chicago’s top three safeties set to be free agents, and potentially investing in upgrades along the defensive line and opposite edge rusher Montez Sweat, there could be some big changes to the starting lineups on both sides of the ball before the 2026 season kicks off.
One of the Bears’ starters could be set for a massive payday, if he reaches the open market when free agency gets underway in March.
Chicago Bears’ Braxton Jones named a top free agent
After spending last offseason adding three marquee pieces along the offensive line, one of the Bears’ stalwarts up front could be on the move this offseason.
Pro Football Focus put together a list of the top-100 players set to become free agents, including Bears left tackle Braxton Jones, who made the cut at No. 56 overall.
“Jones played just 210 snaps in 2025 after suffering a knee injury in Week 4,” PFF points out. ‘But he was effective when healthy in prior action. As a starter in 2024, he earned an 80.8 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 70.2 PFF run-blocking grade. While the 26-year-old will need to improve his pressure-to-sack conversion rate, his track record could still warrant a starting opportunity.”
Part of what could drive Jones’ market up, is the fact that, according to PFF, he is the No. 3-ranked free agent offensive tackle in this year’s class.
Given Ozzy Trapilo’s emergence in 2025, the Bears might be reluctant to overspend to keep Jones in place, even after allowing only two sacks and 15 pressures in 136 pass-blocking snaps this season. However, if Jones’ injury concerns keep his price down, or force him into a one-year prove-it deal type of situation, the Bears may be inclined to bring him back to preserve some continuity up front, in front of quarterback Caleb Williams.
