Dalman's Retirement Leaves Bears Scrambling for Center

0:00It's March 3rd. Here's your NFL News in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Chicago Bears faced a shocking blow this off season. Their 27-year-old Pro Bowl Center, Drew Dolman, announced his retirement from the NFL after just five seasons. He had signed a three-year 42-million-dollar deal with the team last year. Dolman split his career between four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and one standout year in Chicago. That single season earned him Pro Bowl honors while anchoring the line for a quarterback Caleb Williams. Fans and analysts are stunned by the timing. The Bears were riding high with new coach Ben Johnson and a solid offensive interior from last year. Now, they have a glaring-needed center right before pushing for contention. Team sources confirm the news through ESPN's Adam Schefter. Dolman walked away under contract for two more years, leaving Chicago to scramble for options like a high-priced trade for someone such as Tyler, Linderbaum.

1:00This forces the Bears to rethink their line early. It tests their momentum, but they still have cap space and draft picks to fill the gap and stay on track.
