With Ozzy Trapilo expected to miss much of the 2025 season, the Bears are pivoting to their former starter. Braxton Jones is staying in Chicago, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler notes.
The parties are in agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $10MM. Despite Jones losing his LT job in a contract year, he will give it another go as a Bear.
More to come.
Solid insurance move.
For that money I would have ponied up a bit more and shot for Taylor Decker.
I think the “10 mill” includes a whole lot of incentives that he may or may not reach. And they may have talked to Decker and it was gonna cost a lot more..?
Makes sense given the Trapillo situation.
Honestly don’t hate it. They can still go LT in the draft if one falls to them at the right time but they won’t need to reach for one either.
