As of today, the Bears have 9 offensive starters signed thru 2026 and 8 signed thru 2027. Thuney, Jones, and Swift are the 3. If you assume Trapilo starts at some point, then LG and RB are the only starter needs in the next 2 years on offense (which is awesome).

On defense, it is 6 (Sweat, Johnson, Gordon, Odeyingbo, Jarrett, and Edwards) thru 2027. Edmunds, Dexter, and Stevenson go to 2026, with both safeties on the final year of their contracts this year. If Turner becomes a starter at DT, he might negate the loss of Billings in 2026, but the need would pop up after 2026 if Dexter is not extended.

Either way, this is not bad at all for current needs for the next two offseasons (starter-wise):

2026 Needs: Safety x2, LG, maybe OT
2027 Needs: RB, LB, CB, DT

Technically the DE and DT is generally a rotation position. 4 and 4 . Some play more snaps but everyone eats on the line.

I think the next 2 years will be down to grabbing that one player that will put us over the top. And depth pieces.

Oh yeah for sure, I think the trenches have to get addresses every year, regardless how good your top guys are.
