The Chicago Bears have already gotten a jumpstart on undrafted free agency. This tracker will help you monitor who they’ve added and what each name brings to the table. Expect this to be updated regularly as more names come in over the next couple of days.
Jaren Kump, C, Utah
The unsung hero of that loaded Utah offensive line that saw two 1st round picks this year. Kump is your classic overachiever. While not elite in talent, he’s tough, rugged, a leader, and has good power. Those traits tend to stick in the NFL, and the Bears want as much interior depth as possible.
Caden Barnett, OG, Wyoming
🔥 Subscribe to the Untold Chicago YouTube channel to hear Chicago legends tell stories you’ve never seen in headlines — real moments, real experiences, straight from the athletes themselves.
True to form, he is explosive and physical. He gets out in space well as a run-blocker and has a strong anchor in pass protection. The power is certainly there as well. Footwork is something he needs to clean up, as he struggles to protect the edges because of it.
Miller Moss, QB, Louisville
At one point, he was the heir apparent at USC after Williams left. Unfortunately, his season as a starter didn’t go as hoped, and he transferred to Louisville, where he went a respectable 9-4. While not known for great size or athleticism, Moss has a strong arm, solid accuracy, and high football intelligence.
The Chicago Bears will win brownie points with Williams for that.
KC Eziomume, CB, Tulane
This is what you call a pure projection player. Eziomune has size, length and athleticism for the cornerback position. He just never got much playing time to show it. He barely got onto the field for Tulane in 2025. Still, his dimensions and press-man skill screamed Chicago Bears, particularly Al Harris.
Gabriel Plascencia, K, San Diego State
We can’t forget that Cairo Santos turns 35 years old this year. The Bears must ensure they’re prepared in case he loses his edge for whatever reason. Plascenia connected on an impressive 36-of-41 field goal attempts during his college career, demonstrating an ability to focus in high-pressure situations.
Coleman Bennett, RB, Kennesaw State
A big running back with an aggressive running style. He fights through contact on every carry and has proven pass-catching capability from his time as a wide receiver. Some compare him to Jamaal Williams, who, of course, played under Johnson in Detroit a few years ago.
Skyler Thomas, S, Oregon
Dillon Thieneman’s teammate on the field. The two obviously know each other well. Thomas isn’t the athlete that the 1st round pick is, but he’s remarkably good in coverage, especially against tight ends. His special teams prowess also stands out. If he can improve his tackling, the ceiling is higher than people think.
Hayden Large, TE, Iowa
Versatility is a major value for most teams, but especially the Bears. Large played both tight end and fullback during his college career. He was never a primary threat in the passing game, but had a well-earned reputation for gritty, dependable blocking. That will play in this offense.
Jayden Loving, DL, Wyoming
Explosiveness was the name of the game this offseason as the Chicago Bears revamped their defensive tackle room. It started with Jordan Van Den Berg in the 6th round. Now they add Loving as well, who showcased loads of quickness and a non-stop motor. He took a big step last year with 2.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss.
Squirrel White, WR, Florida State
Undersized for his position, White is nevertheless ultra-explosive with 4.28 speed and a 40-inch vertical jump. He’s a true vertical threat who also offers punt return value. Speed always works in the NFL, but White needs to improve his route-running and try to put on some weight.
Beau Gardner, LS, Georgia
Nobody thinks about long snappers until you need one. Gardner started for three seasons for one of the top programs in the country and improved each year, winning the Patrick Mannelly Award in 2025.
Josh Kreutz, C, Illinois (tryout)
This is easily the coolest story of the past few days. Josh Kreutz is the son of Bears legend Olin Kreutz. After completing a productive career for Illinois, he wants to follow in his father’s footsteps. While not the biggest guy, he’s tough, polished, and a decent athlete. His reliable pass-blocking alone deserves a closer look.
Dain Walter, OT, UW-Lacrosse (tryout)
It’s never a bad sign when a player dominates his competition at the small school level. Walter is 6’6″, 313 lbs, and didn’t allow a sack in his final season. He has the measurables to make the NFL leap and doesn’t lack the grit or tenacity. What remains unknown is if he can handle the jump in competition.
Terrell Tilmon, EDGE, Texas Tech (tryout)
Sometimes bad luck plays a part in your story. Tilmon had the misfortune of playing on a stack roster behind David Bailey and Romello Height at Texas Tech, which limited his opportunities. Never mind that Oregon tried switching him to tight end in 2022. Despite that, he showed flashes in the limited chances he got.
