The Chicago Bears will focus much of their attention in NFL free agency on the offensive line, and one veteran is expected to rank near the top of their wish list.

Johnson is a home-run hire for the Bears, but general manager Ryan Poles has plenty of work to do with this roster, between free agency and the 2025 NFL draft, to elevate this team. But it helps that Chicago has the resource to do just that with the fifth-most salary cap space and four picks in the Top 75 of the NFL draft.
