Following a disappointing 2024 season, the Chicago Bears made some major changes across the board, including the hiring of new head coach Ben Johnson and the addition of several new faces in the trenches. One of the biggest splashes the team made so far was bringing in defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, who spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Atlanta Falcons.
Jarrett was an unquestioned leader for the Falcons throughout his tenure, but the veteran was released just hours before free agency opened up, and the Bears soon after locked Jarrett down to a three-year deal.
