Chicago Bears 2023 UDFA News and Rumor Tracker

The Chicago Bears may not sign as many undrafted free agents as last year, but they’ll still be very active in the UDFA market. With the 2023 NFL Draft nearly over, teams will try to finalize deals with players that weren’t selected, but keep in mind that nothing is official until the player signs a contract with their new team. Agents and players often jump the gun on social media, and there isn’t always a distinction between players singing a UDFA deal and players agreeing to attend a team’s rookie minicamp.

The Bears’ rookie minicamp, by the way, is next weekend on May 5 and 6.

We’ll keep track of anything we see or hear in the next couple of days, and once the Bears announce their 2023 UDFA class, we’ll pass that along.
