Chicago Bears har offisielt startet prosessen med å bygge opp sin nye spillerstall for 2026-sesongen. Laget annonserte fredag signeringen av fire draftvalgte samt 13 udraftede free agents under oppstarten av rookie-minicampen.
Wide receiver Zavion Thomas, hentet i tredje runde av draften, var den høyest rangerte nykommeren som signerte kontrakt. Thomas imponerte tidligere med 41 mottakelser for 488 yards og fire touchdowns for LSU i fjor sesong.
I tillegg til Thomas har Bears sikret seg fire draftvalgte i de øvre rundene:
- Malik Muhammad (fjerde runde, defensive back)
- Keyshaun Elliott (femte runde, linebacker)
- Jordan van den Berg (sjette runde, defensive lineman)
Blant de 13 udraftede spillerne som nå har signert med Bears, finner vi navn som:
- Offensive lineman Caden Barnett (Wyoming)
- Running back Coleman Bennett (Kennesaw State)
- Defensive back KC Eziomume (Tulane)
- Long snapper Beau Gardner (Georgia)
- Wide receiver Omari Kelly (Michigan State)
- Offensive lineman Jaren Kump (Utah)
- Tight end Hayden Large (Iowa)
- Defensive lineman Jayden Loving (Wake Forest)
- Quarterback Miller Moss (Louisville)
- Offensive lineman Mason Murphy (Auburn)
- Kicker Gabriel Plascencia (San Diego State)
- Defensive back Skyler Thomas (Oregon State)
- Wide receiver Squirrel White (Florida State)
Med disse signeringene tar Bears et viktig skritt mot å fylle opp troppen med unge talenter før den kommende sesongen. Lagets ledelse uttrykker optimisme knyttet til utviklingen av de nye spillerne.
