Chicago Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman has reportedly retired from the NFL at age 27, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move comes as a massive surprise considering Dalman's age and his recent three-year, $42 million contract signed with the Bears last March.
Dalman left Stanford in 2021 and played four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons before joining Chicago. His retirement announcement follows a remarkable career trajectory that saw him earn Pro Bowl honors despite spending just one season with the Bears.
