The Chicago Bears' trades for Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson gives Ben Johnson two solid starters for the offensive line, with positional versatility that allows Ryan Poles to be flexible in free agency and the NFL Draft.

The Chicago Bears are set to enter free agency at the start of the league’s new year on March 12 with two offensive guards under contract for 2025. The Bears scored major wins this offseason by trading with the Los Angeles Rams for Jonah Jackson and the Kansas City Chiefs for Joe Thuney.

On Tuesday, it was reported that the Bears will be sending a sixth-round pick in exchange to the Los Angeles Rams for Jonah Jackson, and they will take on his entire remaining salary after he inked a three-year, $51 million deal last offseason.
