Chicago Bears make major decision on OL before 2026 NFL Draft
The Chicago Bears are expected to make a decision between going with an offensive tackle or pass-rusher with the No. 25 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Bears appeared to have their offensive line set up for the future last season, but the serious injury to left tackle Ozzy Trapilo and retirement of Drew Dalman have made the unit a top priority for general manager Ryan Poles this offseason.
Chicago also needs to add help for the defensive line and safety.
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Bears made a big decision on right tackle Darnell Wright, picking up the fifth-year option for the 2023 first-round pick. He’ll be with Chicago through the 2027 season.

Chicago Bears could be giving Darnell Wright big pay raise

The Bears are expected to owe Wright nearly $19 million in 2027. Of course, picking up the option will lay the groundwork for Chicago to sign the right tackle to a long-term contract.
Per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, the Bears could be looking to pay Wright in the ballpark of $27 to $30 million per season.
Wright has been a solid player for the Bears since he was taken with the No. 10 pick in 2023. He’s appeared and started in 48 games for Chicago. He earned second-team All-Pro honors for the 2025 season.
Wright has been a foundational piece for the Bears and has been a solid solution at right tackle.
Chicago has yet to find a permanent solution on the other side of the line. That could be addressed with the No. 25 pick, if the Bears continue their strategy of kicking the can down the road on pass-rushers.
