The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the new NFL year as they look to make moves this offseason. In 2025  they got their best finish since 2018 with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses. The Bears also won the NFC North title for the first time in seven years. 

The Bears went from a 5-12 team in 2024 to an 11-6 team in 2025. An incredible jump for any professional sports team. Unfortunately, Chicago failed to advance to the Super Bowl, losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional playoffs.

For the upcoming season, the Bears will definitely look to bolster their lineup as they aim to win it all.

Chicago Bears make bold NFL free agency move

One of the major improvements that the Bears are looking at is the left tackle position. Last year, they started four different players in the opposition. Braxton Jones initially started at left tackle, but was replaced by Theo Benedet after Week 4.

The four-year offensive tackle had a series of poor performances the past season. This is why the Bears decided to bench him, resulting in him playing in only six games. Despite that, the former fifth-round pick still found his way back to Chicago. Jones and the Bears reached an agreement for a one-year extension worth $10 million.

Jones played and started in all the games in his rookie season. However, he has struggled with injuries ever since. Injuries may have played a role in his poor performances last year, but he has a chance to bounce back.

Bleacher Report gave a harsh C- to the Bears for this move. Jones only played in six games and started in four last season, which is why a one-year deal seems reasonable. For Chicago, this is not a long-term gamble. For Jones, he still has a lot to prove as his performance last year won’t secure his position in the lineup.

“Perhaps Jones’ injuries contributed to his struggles,” read Bleacher Report’s analysis. “The Bears need the healthy version of him this year. Either way, they didn’t gamble on Jones for the long term.

“Given his recent showings, signing Jones doesn’t necessarily lock up the position. The Bears could still add competition at that spot.”

Despite the harsh reality check for the Bears, they are looking to make solid moves this offseason. They aim to get another shot at the Super Bowl, and they’re surely hoping that Jones gets to help them with their goal.
