Bears Seek Defensive Line Improvements, Explore Draft Options

News summary

The Chicago Bears are undergoing significant changes in their defensive line as they cut starter DeMarcus Walker to save salary cap space, aiming to revamp their roster for the upcoming season. General manager Ryan Poles emphasized the need for a fresh start in light of scheme changes under new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who plans to implement a more aggressive defensive strategy. Meanwhile, the team is also looking to improve its offensive line after losing out on free-agent target Trey Smith, prompting them to explore other options to bolster their interior line. Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showed promise in his first year, but he requires additional support in terms of offensive reinforcements, especially a reliable running back and a speedster to stretch the field. The upcoming draft could see the Bears targeting players like C.J. West, a defensive tackle from Indiana, who has made a notable impression at the NFL Combine. Overall, the Bears are focused on addressing weaknesses in both their defensive and offensive lines to enhance their competitiveness in the 2025 season.
