The Chicago Bears have made massive investments into the offensive line this offseason, and newly signed center Drew Dalman explains how they'll help QB Caleb Williams.

Just about a week before free agency opened up, Bears general manager Ryan Poles made two separate trades to acquire Jonah Jackson from the Los Angeles Rams and All-Pro guard Joe Thuney from the Kansas City Chiefs, and with the addition of Dalman, the Bears remade the interior of their offensive line.

The Bears have a reported deal in place with the top free agent center available. Here's what it means for the Bears.

The arrival of Drew Dalman as Ben Johnson's Bears center has benefits for Caleb Williams, if not for the entire offense, but they'll try not to get ahead of themselves.

According to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, Dalman turned down more money (from an unidentified team) to play for the Bears. Not that the deal that Dalman got from Chicago is anything to scoff at, but it speaks volumes about how players view the Bears with new head coach Ben Johnson leading the charge.

After officially signing his contract with the Chicago Bears, Drew Dalman met with the Chicago media to talk about what made him choose to sign with the Bears and what he brings to the team.

The Chicago Bears have made their first big splash of free agency agreeing to terms with center Drew Dalman, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a three-year, $42 million deal that includes $28 million guaranteed, which makes Dalman the second-highest paid center in the NFL.

The Chicago Bears made another massive move, signing Atlanta Falcons center Drew Dalman in free agency. Here are four takeaways from the transaction.
