Splash: The Patriots are taking the biggest defender off the market, as Eagles DT Milton Williams lands in New England, per me and Mike Garafolo.

Williams gets a $26M per year.

Drew Dalman to Chicago has felt like a lock for weeks now. I know folks have mixed opinions on him but I do like that, after last year’s disaster class, they gave Williams a veteran center.

The Ben Johnson era begins with a major investment in the new IOL—Thuney-Dalman-Jackson.

Drew Dalman is now the second highest paid center in the NFL. #Bears

#Bears and center Drew Dalman agree on a three year deal.

It’s the “legal tampering” period. But teams, agents, players were all in Indianapolis for a week. Stuff gets started there.

#Bears

Yep. No chance they were going that high.

Per colleague Jeremy Fowler, free agent DT Jonathan Allen plans to visit the Vikings. Allen overlapped in Washington with Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell when O'Connell was an assistant coach there.

Khalil Mack would have been fun. But at $18M for one year? Thats wasn’t happening for the #Bears

NFL Free Agency and Twitter is down lol.

Legal tampering day! #NFL

Teven Jenkins is officially out for the #Bears on Sunday.

The Bears have a decision to make on him this offseason. But he has not been able to stay healthy in his career.

Caleb Williams will be fine. It’s been a turbulent rookie year for him with the organization. But he’s been pretty damn good.

Patience, #Bears fans.

A new #Bears coaching search is underway.

Glaring issue on Bears special team exposed, again The Minnesota Vikings did their homework on the Chicago Bears special teams and it paid off with a blocked field goal.

The Vikings weren’t shocked they blocked a #Bears FG. They did their homework all week.

That’s a problem for Chicago:
