Bears' free agent bust eyes redemption in crucial 2026

The Chicago Bears' 2025 season included an 11-win record and a near NFC Championship appearance. Defensive end Grady Jarrett, a 2025 free agent acquisition, is noted as having an underwhelming first year with the team, recording 1.5 sacks and 39 tackles in 14 games due to a knee injury. Jarrett, a former two-time Pro Bowler, has an opportunity to improve his performance in the upcoming 2026 season.
