They are signing Garrett Bradbury from the New England Patriots as his replacement. NFL Insider Ian Rappaport broke the news on Friday afternoon. The deal won't become official until the new league year starts on March 11th. Bradbury just came off a Super Bowl run with the Patriots last season, starting every game in their Super Bowl 60 push. Dawman's sudden exit caught the bears and others around the league by surprise. General manager Ryan Poles wasted no time landing this solid veteran to keep the line steady. Bradbury was a first round pick by the Minnesota Vikings back in 2019. He has started 105 games in his career and missed just one over the last two years. He has one year left on his deal and is still owed $3,700,000. The reliable center plans to play in 2026 and hopes to lock in a longer term contract.
