The Chicago Bears’ offseason roster additions are almost complete. After a couple of months of adding to that roster, the Bears will see what they have during offseason workouts over the next month.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles was busy this offseason filling some holes from last year’s team that reached the NFC Divisional Round. Poles made some key free agent additions in March and also said goodbye to some leaders. He then boosted the roster with seven additions in the NFL draft last month.

The moves likely aren’t done. Teams are always looking for ways to improve, even with the NFL draft in the books. The Bears will continue offseason workouts over the next month and see if there is more they need to address with the limited salary cap space they have left.

So, which positions are most concerning moving forward? Here’s a look.

Defensive tackle

Poles entered the offseason needing to boost the defensive line, including the inside, after an inconsistent season stopping the run and pressuring quarterbacks. After free agency and the draft, the defensive tackle position remains a big question mark.

The Bears didn’t make a major move at tackle. Poles felt he boosted the speed on the interior with the free-agent additions of Neville Gallimore, Kentavius Street and James Lynch. Chicago wasn’t impressed with this year’s defensive tackle class in the draft and traded back to the sixth round to take Jordan van den Berg.

Poles will look for more production than from what he had on the roster. Gervon Dexter will enter the final year of his rookie contract after Poles selected him in the second round of the 2023 draft. Dexter should be motivated after flashing potential at times over the past few seasons.

Chicago will also rely on Grady Jarrett, who will be 33 next season. Jarrett played in 14 games last season but battled a nagging injury for most of the year. The Bears will hope a healthy Jarrett can make an impact along with the other rotational pieces.

Defensive end

As many analysts and fans expected the Bears to address the tackle position this offseason, even more thought it was a forgone conclusion that Poles would add a defensive end at some point. Instead, Poles didn’t add to the spot at all.

Chicago will rely on what it already has in the room. Montez Sweat put up some of the best numbers of his career last year. He finished with 10 sacks, the most he’s had with one team in a season, to go along with 18 quarterback hits and 13 tackles for loss. The question remains who can rush the quarterback opposite Sweat.

According to our latest depth chart, Austin Booker will likely get the first chance to hold that spot. After missing the first part of the season due to injury, Booker flashed at times and put up 4.5 sacks in 10 games. The Bears will see whether the former fifth-round pick can take another big step with a full training camp.

Poles will also see if Shemar Turner and Dayo Odeyingbo can make an impact coming off season-ending injuries. Turner is a complete unknown after he missed most of training camp during his rookie season and played in five games before he tore his ACL. Odeyingbo didn’t make too much of an impact after being the team’s top edge addition. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon midway through the year.

Left tackle

Chicago had uncertainty surrounding its starting left tackle position for a second straight offseason. Those question marks remain heading into offseason practices and training camp.

The Bears thought they might’ve found their starter in Ozzy Trapilo, one of last year’s second-round picks. Trapilo took over midway through the season and held on to the spot into the playoffs before he suffered a patellar tendon injury in the NFC Wild Card game. Now the Bears aren’t sure whether Trapilo will return toward the end of the season or play at all in 2026.

The options at left tackle all have question marks. Chicago brought back Braxton Jones on a one-year deal after he was the team’s starter at the spot for three seasons and started the first four games last year. But the Bears replaced Jones, and then he dealt with an injury for most of the season. Bears coaches are interested to see what he looks like healthy.

Jedrick Wills Jr., Theo Benedet and Kiran Amegadjie could all be in contention for the position. Wills, a former No. 10 overall pick who didn’t play last season as he recovered from injury, has interesting potential if he’s healthy. Benedet started a few games at left tackle before Trapilo replaced him while he was injured. Meanwhile, Bears coaches will see where on the line Amegadjie could fit if healthy.
