A closer look at Chicago’s pre-draft roster

The NFL Draft kicks off in just three days, so it’s likely the Chicago Bears are going to hold off in adding any more free agents this week. As the roster stands right now Chicago has just 64 players under contract for their 90-man offseason roster, so after the draft I’d expect general manager Ryan Poles and his scouting staff to be deep in the dossiers of prospective undrafted free agents.

Their UDFA class could be one of the biggest in the league as the Bears continue their 2022 makeover. They signed 18 17 free agents once the league year opened on March 16, they only re-signed 2 of their unrestricted free agents, they brought back all 3 of their exclusive rights free agents, and they moved on from 23 of their players from a season ago.
