Chicago Bears Center drew down and shocked everyone by announcing his retirement from the NFL at just 27 years old. He's only played five seasons, including one standout year with the Bears, where he earned his first pro-Bull selection.

Duny, that move had fans excited about the team's future up front. Now, the Bears face a huge gap at center, creating one of the toughest challenges yet for Poles and his young career as GM. Fans are reacting with surprise, calling Domen, the best at the position since Olden Croits left years ago. The good news is options exist in free agency. The Bears are hosting Washington Commander's release, Tyler Bayadaz for a visit, and Baltimore Raven's free agent Tyler Lindrbaum is also available.
