In some ways, the 2025 NFL offseason is only just beginning. Rosters can certainly receive makeovers at this time of the year, but oftentimes, when they're built to go the distance, they're forged all the way into the summer

The NFL's new year officially kicked off Wednesday, two days after teams began spending big money in free agency.

The NFL’s legal tampering period is well underway, and many of the top free agents are already off the board. So far, some teams have significantly improved their rosters through smart moves, while others have taken a step back.

The Chicago Bears have been busy during free agency filling some key holes, most notably in the trenches through trades and signings. After addressing the offensive and defensive lines, the Bears made a move to shore up their receiving corp with the addition of Olamide Zaccheaus.

Free agent wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is signing with the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports. Zaccheaus is coming off one of the best seasons of his career with a personal-best 45 catches for 506 yards and three touchdowns for Washington.

Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus has departed the Washington Commanders. Zaccheaus will not be wearing burgundy and gold in the 2025 season, as the veteran receiver signed with the Chicago Bears on Thursday.

The Bears have given offensive guard Jonah Jackson a one-year contract extension through 2027. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that, as part of the trade for Jackson, the Bears added guarantees in 2026 with $7 million fully guaranteed and another $5.
