Bears' Free Agency: Pass Rush, Safety, WR Needs Persist
About this episode
The Chicago Bears kicked off the 2026 NFL free agency period with a flurry of signings, including DMarco Jackson, Neville Gallimore, Coby Bryant, Devin Bush, and Braxton Jones. Despite the spending, the team still has gaps to fill, particularly in the pass rush and safety positions. Trey Hendrickson, a prime target, remains unsigned, while Jaquan Brisker and Kevin Byard could bolster the secondary. At wide receiver, the Bears lost depth and could reunite with Darnell Mooney, who was released by the Falcons. The front office faces pressure to address these needs before top talents sign elsewhere.

NFL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Bears' Free Agency: Pass Rush, Safety, WR Needs Persist. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
It's March 10th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. The Chicago Bears made waves on the first day of the 2026 NFL Free Agency period. They re-signed running back to Marco Jackson to a two-year deal, brought back defensive tackle, Neville Galamore, on another two-year contract, added safety, Kobe Bryant, with a $3-year $40-million agreement, and sign linebacker Devon Bush to a $3-year $30-million-packed. Later, they locked in left tackle Braxton Jones, with a $1-year $10-million deal. Even with all that spending, the Bears have clear gaps to fill on their roster. Their past rush ranked near the bottom of the league last season, and no move so far fixed that issue. Teens like the Bengals let defensive end Trey Hendrixson hit the market, after his back-to-back 17-and-a-half sack seasons, making him a prime. Target if his price stays under $30-million a year. As an analyst, see Hendrixson as a game-changer, who could pair perfectly with Montez's sweat
and boost the entire defense. Meanwhile, the safety spot remains thin, despite Bryant's arrival, leaving just one player locked in. Former standouts like Chiquam Briskar, or All Pro, Kevin Byer III could return and stabilize the secondary. At Y receiver, the Bears lost death with Olamide Zacayus, leaving, and Rookie Jada Walker is not ready yet. The Falcons just released our now mooney after his injury plagued year, and his estimated $7.6-million annual value makes him an affordable reunion option as a reliable number 3 receiver. Chicago's front office now faces pressure to act fast before top talents like Hendrixson, Briskar, Byer'd, or Mooney Sign elsewhere. With needs across defense and offense, more deals could shape a stronger 2026 campaign. This DNN story comes to you thanks to our sponsor. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone.
