Bradbury Trade Sets Stage for Big Wright Extension in Chicago

The Bears’ acquisition of center Garrett Bradbury from New England signals a major push to extend right tackle Darnell Wright. With cap space boosted by recent moves (Edmunds release, Moore trade, Dalman retirement) to about $33 million and Bradbury costing around $4.7 million next season (leaving roughly $29 million), Chicago is positioned to pursue a four-year, roughly $92 million deal for Wright (about $22–24 million per year). Wright has been a durable, cornerstone player and earned Second-Team All-Pro in 2025, making an extended deal a logical next step for the Bears’ offensive-line plans.

Chicago Bears' Darnell Wright Shines in Prime Time Victory

Despite a tough game for the Chicago Bears passing game against the Los Angeles Chargers, rookie offensive lineman Darnell Wright stood out by handling one-on-one blocking situations against top defenders Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack. He gave up only two pressures and no hits or sacks on quarterback Tyson Bagent. Despite being a work in progress, Wright's talent and grit were evident, and he looks like a strong pick for the Bears. The challenge now is for the team to find more players like him to build a successful era.

"Bears Rookie's Hilarious Mistake Turns into Impressive Advantage"

Chicago Bears rookie offensive tackle Darnell Wright impressed general manager Ryan Poles by excelling in his conditioning test, but it was revealed that a misunderstanding led him to train even harder than intended. Wright mistakenly followed the wide receivers' workout instructions, resulting in him performing more distance in less time. Despite the rookie mistake, Wright's dedication to detail and weight loss without losing muscle mass have impressed the team. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy welcomes more of these "stupid" mistakes if they yield such positive results.

Assessing the Chicago Bears' OTA Performance and Roster Prospects.

The Chicago Bears have revamped their offensive line to protect quarterback Justin Fields, who was sacked 55 times last season. However, Tuesday's OTA highlighted the team's thin depth at the position, with right guard Nate Davis absent and inexperienced players Ja'Tyre Carter and Lucas Patrick splitting starting reps. While the starting unit looks improved, injuries are a given, and the Bears are just one injury away from an unproven or ineffective player stepping in. The team has time to add to the group before the season starts.

Chicago Bears' Rookie Minicamp and Draft Picks: Takeaways and Winners.

The Chicago Bears are working on rebuilding Gervon Dexter, their second-round pick, during rookie minicamp. Dexter has all the physical tools to be an impactful defensive tackle, but his production wasn't consistently there at Florida. Meanwhile, first-round pick Darnell Wright appears to have entered the NFL ahead of schedule compared to the normal rookie offensive lineman. The Bears want Wright to spend the next six weeks diving into the playbook and getting acclimated to the verbiage of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's attack.
