Chicago Bears Central
The Chicago Bears have made their move in the 2026 NFL Draft — selecting Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman with the No. 25 overall pick 🐻⬇️
With major losses in the secondary, including Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker, Chicago needed a playmaker — and they may have just found one 👀
Draft analyst Dane Brugler compared Thieneman to Justin Reid, highlighting his versatility, football IQ, and physicality as a run defender — traits that make him an instant impact player in Dennis Allen’s defense 🔥
But that’s not all…
The Bears also restructured contracts for Cole Kmet and Jonah Jackson, freeing up over $10 million in cap space 💰
