"Former Browns first-round pick, OT Jedrick Wills Jr., is signing a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, per source. Jedrick Wills Jr. was a first-round pick (10th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in the 2020 NFL Draft. Wills played 58 games with the Browns. After appearing in 45 of a possible 50 game in his first three seasons as a pro, injuries have limited Wills to just 13 games since the start of the 2023 season."
"The Bears have a glaring need at the left tackle position. Considering that their first two moves at that position were to bring back former starter Braxton Jones on a one-year 'prove it' deal and adding Jedrick Wills as a post-hype sleeper roll-of-the-dice candidate, it looks like this front office is looking to create competition at the position once again."
"Wills will try to get his career back on track under a head coach (Ben Johnson) who values offensive line play and a position coach (Dan Roushar) who helped Chicago's blockers level up in 2025. The University of Alabama product didn't play at all in 2025."
