The Chicago Bears made their first major roster acquisition earlier in the week when they agreed to acquire offensive lineman Jonah Jackson from the Rams in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Jackson signed a three-year deal worth $51 million last offseason and became their starting center, a position he had limited experience playing.

The Rams allowed Jackson to seek a trade after losing his job. He'll reunite with Bears coach Ben Johnson, who coached him in Detroit.

The Chicago Bears are retooling their offensive line, making two trades in less than 24 hours acquiring two former Pro Bowl linemen. The first of the two trades saw Chicago send a sixth-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for offensive guard Jonah Jackson, a former Pro Bowl selection during his time with the Detroit Lions.
