       I would rather take Evan Brown, Andre James, or even Josh Meyers
       before I take an older walking injury case who is mulling
       retirement like Kelly.  But Dalman is still the top dog for FA
       centers.
       Mack is like Thuney.  Solid football players and locker room
       leaders for probably 2 or 3 years max who will help you win now
       while hopefully drafting players who can replace them.  Mack
       will upgrade the run defense and hopefully find that juice to
       rival Quinn's accidental run in 2021.

       At present, Center is the critical path going forward and I
       believe Dalman will solidify that position for a few years, if
       they acquire him. I'm ok with Mack if they get him, but yeah
       it's only for a couple years at most. Buys more time to focus on
       that position later as we all know the lines are the attention
       getters at present....

       I’m with VJ…I can’t see any way to get Hendrickson now, knowing
       that his price tag is going to likely be 30+ per…

       The Bears are signing C Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million
       deal with $28 million guaranteed.

       ESPN sources: Former Falcons center Drew Dalman reached
       agreement today on a three-year, $42 million deal that includes
       $28 million guaranteed with the Chicago Bears. The deal makes
       Dalman the NFL’s second-highest center. Steve Caric of Wasserman
       negotiated the deal with Bears GM Ryan Poles, who has poured his
       resources into Chicago’s offensive line.

       Drew Dalman fills another hole.
       Not much left to pick : Campbell/Banks  DE.
       That's it. What do we pick after that ?
       Talking heads say it's a good year for RB's.

       A look at the Bears offensive line depth chart:
       Tackle:
       Darnell Wright
       Braxton Jones
       Kiran Amegadjie
       Guard:
       Joe Thuney
       Jonah Jackson
       Ryan Bates
       Bill Murray
       Jordan McFadden
       Center:
       Drew Dalman
       Ryan Bates
       Ricky Stromberg
       A 1st or 2nd round draft pick and a free agent swing tackle
       would make for a nice group of 9 (pushing Murray, McFadden, and
       Stromberg to the practice squad).

       @dave_bfr
       According to CBS’s Jonathan Jones, Drew Dalman turned down more
       money from other teams.
       He wanted to be in Chicago.

       @NextGenStats
       Across nine games in 2024, Drew Dalman allowed the 5th-lowest
       1-on-1 pressure rate among centers (4.0%, min. 200 pass blocks).
       Dalman was left 1-on-1 on 45.4% of pass blocking snaps, the
       2nd-highest rate among centers (min. 200 pass blocks).
