Outside the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, the rest of the NFL has already begun the moving-on process for the 2025 NFL season, including the Chicago Bears.
With that comes free agency and the NFL Draft. Both will have a heavy influence on which teams position themselves to make a deep playoff run next season.
The 2026 NFL Draft will provide Bears general manager Ryan Poles and coach Ben Johnson to continue building the team’s roster. How aggressively Chicago is in free agency will impact how the team moves in the draft.
