Bears fans optimistic about the offseason, but still concerned about the d-line

Chicago Bears fans appear optimistic about the offseason but remain uneasy about the defensive line heading into the 2025 season. In a poll asking supporters to grade the entire offseason—from free agency and the draft to training camp and preseason—nearly half gave it a B. The dominant reservation was pass-rush and interior pressure: there was no major defensive-line free-agent signing, no trade for help, and the first two days of the NFL Draft didn’t add anyone. The team also traded away its most productive defensive tackle from 2025. Fans note injuries and unresolved roles on the defense, while sportsbooks list key players including Jaylon Johnson and Montez Sweat.
