Bears center Drew Dalman bows out after five NFL seasons

Chicago Bears center Drew Dalman is expected to retire after five NFL seasons, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Chicago is hosting center Tyler Biadasz for a visit as a potential replacement, as the team continues to fortify the interior line. Dalman, 27, helped anchor a rebuilt O-line that aided QB Caleb Williams and earned strong marks from PFF, including a Pro Bowl nod and top run-blocking grade at center. He started every regular-season game and both playoff contests in Chicago, finishing his career with 74 appearances and 57 starts after being a 2021 fourth-round pick.
