We’ll be tracking all the reports and rumors about the Chicago Bears’ undrafted free agent search and their rookie minicamp invites right here.
While scouts, coaches, and front office personnel are poring over their draft scenarios and draft boards during the NFL Draft, others are working the phones to set up their post-draft pickups. A team’s 2025 rookie class isn’t complete after the three-day NFL Draft, because there’s still work to do to fill out their 90-man offseason rosters with undrafted free agents.
The UDFA frenzy is a race to plant seeds with players and agents, showing them that your club is their best option. Nothing is official until the player signs a deal, which is why we’ll see some early reports walked back as some players change their minds for a better offer. Keep in mind that nothing is official until the player signs a deal with their new club.
