Free agent center Drew Dalman reached agreement Monday on a three-year, $42 million deal that includes $28 million guaranteed with the Chicago Bears, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal makes Dalman the NFL's second-highest center.
Bears general manager Ryan Poles has poured his resources into Chicago's offensive line for new head coach Ben Johnson. Last week, he agreed to trades for guards Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney.
Dalman, 26, started 40 games for the Atlanta Falcons over the last three seasons. He missed eight games in 2024 due to a high ankle sprain sustained in Week 3, with Ryan Neuzil filling in for him.
