Reports: Bears Pro Bowl C Drew Dalman to retire at age 27

Chicago Bears center Drew Dalman is retiring at age 27 and after his first Pro Bowl season, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

Dalman signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Bears last offseason after four years with the Atlanta Falcons. Chicago also bulked up the offensive line by trading for guards Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney (also a 2025 Pro Bowl pick). The Bears went on to win the NFC North and their first playoff game in 15 years under first-year head coach Ben Johnson.
