After a successful 2025 season, the Chicago Bears once again had to tinker with their offensive line. The Bears were informed by center Drew Dalman that he would retire, one year after the Bears signed him from the Atlanta Falcons. So, the team needed to find a new starting center. They found just that in the form of Garrett Bradbury, after finalizing a trade with the New England Patriots.
Bradbury was formally introduced to the Bears after passing his physical. While speaking with reporters, Bradbury revealed that he hung out with quarterback Caleb Williams over the weekend.
