Drew Dalman Announces his Retirement
Chicago Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 27 on Tuesday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Dalman was taken in the fourth round (114th overall) by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2021 NFL draft out of Stanford. He played the first four years of his NFL career with the Falcons before becoming a first-time Pro Bowler with the Bears in 2025 in 17 regular-season games. Dalman signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Bears a year ago. His decision to hang up his cleats in his prime is a big surprise and is a big loss for Chicago's offensive line. The Bears will most likely make finding a new center an offseason priority, whether it be through free agency or the NFL draft in April. Dalman started 57 of the 74 games he appeared in over the course of his five-year career.
