"FIRST POST-SUPER BOWL 2026 NFL MOCK DRAFT There are some interesting players among the pending free agents on the offensive side of the ball. For instance, Braxton Jones was the Bears' Week 1 starting left tackle in each of the first four years of his rookie contract with the team. However, his future is up-in-the-air after an injury-shortened 2025 season. Devin Duvernay made some splash plays in the return game. Does a return to Chicago make sense?"
"DEFENSIVE PLAYERS AND SPECIAL TEAMERS Kevin Byard III, safety Jaquan Brisker, safety Jonathan Owens, safety Elijah Hicks, safety Nahshon Wright, cornerback Jaylon Jones, cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson, defensive back D'Marco Jackson, linebacker Dominique Robinson, defensive end Andrew Billings, defensive tackle Chris Williams, defensive tackle Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, defensive end Jalen Reeves-Maybin, linebacker and special teams contributor Scott Daly, long snapper"
The NFL's legal tampering period opens in one month, marking the start of major roster transactions. The Chicago Bears have several unrestricted free agents on offense, including quarterback Case Keenum, multiple offensive linemen, and skill-position contributors such as Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay. Braxton Jones' role is uncertain after an injury-shortened 2025 season. The defense features many potential departures, highlighted by multiple starting-caliber safeties and defensive backs including Kevin Byard III and Jaquan Brisker. Depth players across the defensive line, linebacker corps, and special teams are also listed as pending free agents.
