But by Wednesday, things picked up. However, yesterday it was back to a crawl with one signing in the morning and two departures in the late afternoon.
The Bears still need to add some veteran depth (d-line, please), so I would expect something to happen over the next few days. In anticipation of said moves, we're launching a fresh tracker to take you through the weekend!
Check out this special Friday edition of the Chicago Draft Room on our 2nd City Gridiron YouTube channel as Ari Temkin and our Lead Draft Analyst Jacob Infante discussed all the Bears' moves thus far, and how that could shape what they do in the 2026 NFL Draft.
We'll update this news and rumor tracker as reports come in about the Bears on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.- Former Bears safety Jonathan Owens is signing a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts.
