42 Bears players slated to become free agents in 2026

The 2025 NFL draft is in the books, where the Chicago Bears welcomed eight new rookies to the roster under first-year head coach Ben Johnson.

That started with the selection of tight end Colston Loveland with the 10th overall pick, as well as wide receiver Luther Burden III, offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo and defensive tackle Shemar Turner in the second round. They also added some potential late-round gems in linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II, cornerback Zah Frazier, guard Luke Newman and running back Kyle Monangai.

The Bears are poised to be a much-improved team in 2025, which includes a loaded offense and talented defense with new names calling the shots in Johnson and Dennis Allen.
