2025 NFL Signings Graded by Team: Chicago Bears

Change Team:

This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Chicago Bears. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

April 2025 – Signings


Bears sign QB Case Keenum (1 year, $3 million): A- Grade
signed on 4/3/2025


You’re not crazy if you thought Case Keenum was out of the NFL. That’s because he sort of was last year. He suffered an injury in August and missed all of 2024. Now, at 37, Keenum will be on an NFL roster for another season.

Despite Keenum’s age and recent injury, I like this signing. Experience is one thing Chicago’s quarterback room lacks, as Tyson Bagent is Caleb Williams’ backup. Keenum will be a helpful voice in the locker room, which should help Williams develop.

March 2025 – Signings


Bears sign WR Olamide Zaccheaus (1 year, $1.5 million): B+ Grade
signed on 3/17/2025


The Bears obtained Keenan Allen last offseason, but he was mostly a disappointment. He had some great performances at the end of the year, but he reported to camp overweight and was sluggish for the first half of the season.

Allen is no longer on the team, so Olamide Zaccheaus will take his place. Zaccheaus isn’t nearly as good, but he’s younger and cheaper. He had some decent performances with Jayden Daniels last year, so perhaps he can help the other top-two quarterback from the 2024 NFL Draft.
