The Chicago Bears have added to their offensive line unit by landing not one, but two, offensive linemen in two trades before free agency opens.

On Tuesday, it was reported that the Bears will be sending a sixth-round pick in exchange to the Los Angeles Rams for Jonah Jackson, and they will take on his entire remaining salary after he inked a three-year, $51 million deal last offseason.

Less than 24 hours after the trade for Jackson, general manager Ryan Poles made another big splash on the trade market. Multiple outlets reported that Chicago is sending a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for Joe Thuney, who is an All-Pro guard who played both left guard and left tackle for the Chiefs last season.

The trade now allows Chicago more flexibility in the upcoming free agency and draft periods, where they’re expected to be one of the more active teams as they look to revamp their roster. Following two big trades to reinforce and improve their unit, here’s a look at the Bears’ depth at the offensive line position.

Joe Thuney

Chicago was not going to settle for just one trade in their pursuit of rebuilding their offensive line in one offseason, acquiring Joe Thuney for a 2026 fourth-round pick. Thuney brings an incredible amount of versatility to the offensive line having played left tackle when needed this past season, but becoming an All-Pro at the guard position. Being one of the key protection pieces for Patrick Mahomes should confirm the level of talent Thuney has, and with his arrival to Chicago paired with Jonah Jackson, the offensive line is going to look much different next year.

Jonah Jackson

The newly acquired Jackson is one of the only guards on the roster who should be expected to see playing time in the 2025 season. His addition lays out a more clear path for the front office who still have to work to improve the rest of their interior offensive line. Jackson has familiarity with Ben Johnson from their time together in Detroit, and has versatility to play either guard position and center.

Braxton Jones

As of now, Braxton Jones is the team’s starting left tackle, but he’ll also enter the 2025 season coming off a fracture fibula he suffered in December. Jones graded out higher in his pass protection than his run blocking, and depending on where the team goes in their early draft selections, he could be entrenched as the starter, or he’ll have some real competition to beat out this summer.

Darnell Wright

The core to the offensive line is right tackle Darnell Wright, who received plenty of praise from new head coach Ben Johnson. There’s no player more safe on the offensive line than Wright, who has been as advertised since being a first-round pick ahead of the 2023 season. He finished in the top-half of tackles based on PFF’s grading system.

Ryan Bates

After playing in 49 games in three seasons for the Buffalo Bills, Ryan Bates was limited to just three games for the Bears in his first season with the team. The 2025 season will be the final season on his contract and he serves as a serviceable depth option for the team if needed.

Kiran Amegadjie

A third-round pick in last year’s draft, Kiran Amegadjie struggled with injuries early in the season and then showed he’s got some work to do when he filled in for Jones late in the season. There’s still reason to be hopeful for Amegadjie, only if the new coaching staff sees talent and value in him going into his second year. He’s more of a depth piece than a starter at this time, but could earn playing time depending on how his development grows.

Joshua Miles

Joshua Miles signed a future/reserves contract this offseason and spent the last two seasons as part of the practice squad with the New York Giants.

Jordan McFadden

Claimed off waivers this offseason by the Bears, Jordan McFadden spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Chargers up until now. He appeared in only one game in the 2024 season. McFadden should be viewed as a depth piece heading into this offseason.

Theo Benedet

Best known for his singing performance of “God Bless the USA” during HBO’s “Hard Knocks” last preseason, Theo Benedet was signed to a reserve/future contract in January.

Ricky Stromberg

A member of the Bears practice squad last season, Ricky Stromberg was signed to a future/reserve contract in January.

Chris Glaser

Just like Stromberg, Chris Glaser was a member of the Bears practice squad this past year, and was signed to a future/reserve contract in January.
