2006 Super Bears: Where are they now. Part 1

Notable former Bears have signed with new teams, and I decided to look into where the 2006 Bears Superbowl roster went. I won't include some fringe players in an effort to make this Fanpost concise. I will use the following format:

Current Player

Former Player : New Team

Player not in NFL (Status)

Offense

OC: Ron Turner : Colts (Quarterbacks coach)

Special Teams:

Devin Hester

Only 4 Bears remain active with the team. At the time since Hester was primarily a returner rather than a corner, I added him to this part since it seems more relevant to his contributions to the team. One thing I did notice was the offensive line was basically at its peak or slightly over it, but at a point where it definitely needed a youth injection. Angelo responded by spending only 6 picks on the line in the next 5 years, most of them 6/7th rounders.
