The Chicago Bears are set to prioritize rebuilding their offensive line this offseason after a season characterized by their rookie quarterback Caleb Williams being sacked an astounding 68 times, the most in the NFL. General Manager Ryan Poles and Head Coach Ben Johnson are expected to closely assess the performance of their current linemen, with the exception of promising right tackle Darnell Wright, as all other starters have underperformed.

A critical decision awaits regarding Matt Pryor, the Bears' right guard, deemed by Pro Football Focus as a player the team cannot afford to lose. While his 2024 pass-blocking grade was commendable, his overall contributions raise questions about his reliability as a full-time starter. His return may depend on the Bears' success in targeting higher-profile free agents like Kansas City Chiefs' Trey Smith and Atlanta Falcons' Drew Dalman.
