The Chicago Bears have 26 free agents who will be available to other teams, making things tougher for the team out of the Windy City.
They have some big decisions, including whether to bring back guys like Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Nahshon Wright, D'Marco Jackson, and Braxton Jones. With so many players back, at least half of them won't be back on the roster.
Of the big names that aren't being brought up, which ones should be re-signed by the Bears for the 2026 season?
Durham Smythe, TE
If Cole Kmet indeed does get cut or traded, the Bears are going to be lacking in depth at tight end.
