Drew Dalman explains why he signed with Bears

The Chicago Bears overhauled the entire interior offensive line in a matter of a week, which includes the trades for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, as well as the signing of center Drew Dalman in free agency.

Dalman, who was a top-five graded center with the Atlanta Falcons, was considered the best available center on the free agent market, and he had a number of suitors entering free agency. But he was looking for something specific when choosing his new home.

"The things that are most important to me with football [are] about the culture that I'm playing in and the people I'm playing next to, the vision for the team as a whole," Dalman said during his introductory press conference.
