The Chicago Bears are bringing again veteran left deal with Braxton Jones, who’s signing a one-year contract extension value up to $10 million, in accordance to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler.
Jones began the 2025 season because the beginning left deal with earlier than his declining play and harm resulted in him being benched in favor of Theo Benedet, who was finally usurped by rookie Ozzy Trapilo. Jones, a former fifth-round choose, has been an important worth choose for Chicago serving as a three-year starter earlier than shedding favor with the group in 2025.
The Bears have a giant gap at left deal with after Ozzy Trapilo suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in a wild-card playoff win towards the Green Bay Packers, and he is anticipated to miss many of the 2026 season. Chicago expects him to return, so bringing again Jones to compete for the beginning left deal with job was at all times a short-term possibility.
The Bears not too long ago signed Benedet as an unique rights free agent, so we might see a repeat of the left deal with competitors from final summer time with Jones, Benedet and former third-round choose Kiran Amegadjie (sans Trapilo).
