The Chicago Bears‘ offensive line overhaul under new head coach Ben Johnson continued with a bang on Monday at the start of the NFL free agency’s legal tampering period.
Chicago is signing free agency’s top center Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million deal, per CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Jones reported the 26-year-old took less money to play under Johnson and block for 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams. Dalman, a fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons, was the league’s fourth-highest graded center last season (78.8 PFF offensive grade) after allowing only two sacks and 10 quarterback pressures allowed in nine games last season while battling through an ankle injury.
