The Chicago Bears have significantly upgraded their offensive line this offseason, acquiring Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney, and Drew Dalman, which could propel their performance to elite levels. Jackson's familiarity with Ben Johnson’s offense allows for a seamless transition, while Thuney boasts the highest PFF pass-blocking grade among guards since 2021. This new foundation could provide quarterback Caleb Williams with better protection and create a more dynamic running game.

Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are building a formidable defense, having focused their free agency efforts there despite offensive uncertainties. Their defensive lineup now includes key players like Milton Williams and Harold Landry III, which could make them a tough opponent in the upcoming season.
