Drew Dalman Retires, Bears Face Offensive Line Gaps

0:00On March 3rd, here's the latest surrounding the NFL. Chicago Bears Pro Bowl Center drew down and is retiring after five seasons in the league. The 27-year-old made the decision official this week, according to sources close to the team. He signed a $42 million dollar, three-year deal with the Bears last March, and earned his first Pro Bowl nod while helping anchor the offensive. Domen played a huge part in their 11-and-six record that clinched the NFC North title. As the only Bears lineman on the field for every offensive snap, he was central to the unit's turnaround. The team added all pro-left guard Joe Thunivia trade, signed guard Jonah Jackson and rookie Ozzie Trapalo stepped up at left tackle. That better protection led quarterback Caleb Williams bounced back strong, throwing for a franchise record 3,942 yards. In his second season, after getting sacked, 68 times as a rookie. Now Chicago faces gaps with Domen's exit, and Trapilo sidelined most of next year from a torn Patelor tendon in the playoff win over Green Bay.
