With the 2026 NFL Draft now in the books, the Chicago Bears will look to make more additions to their offseason roster by signing undrafted free agents.

The Chicago Bears capped off the draft on Saturday evening, with the team making a total of three of their seven picks on Day 3.

Chicago began its draft with the selection of Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman in Round 1, and followed that up with an unpopular Day 2 that saw the selections of Iowa center Logan Jones, Stanford tight end Sam Roush and LSU wide receiver Zavion Thomas.

Then, on Day 3, the Bears added three more players, picking Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad in Round 4, Arizona State linebacker Keyshaun Elliott in Round 5, and Georgia Tech defensive lineman Jordan van den Berg in Round 6.

Follow our tracker below for all of the latest updates on which undrafted rookies the Bears are rumored to be signing. Bear in mind, these are reported signings and no deals are set in stone until the Bears officially announce them in the days ahead.

Bears' undrafted hidden gems to watch

DL Jayden Loving: Another uber-athletic defensive lineman for the Bears, Loving posted a 9.93 Relative Athletic Score, which is elite. The 6-foot-2, 317-pound defensive lineman had numbers at his pro day that would have led most categories at the combine.

K Gabriel Plascencia: How about a 230-pound kicker? Plascencia could be the next "Thiccer Kicker" at his size, but that's not the only reason to be intrigued by him. The San Diego State product had an 87.8% career field goal success rate in college over three years and missed just one extra point. He nailed 92.9% of his FG attempts in 2024 and 82.6% in 2025. He also has the leg to drill 50-yard kicks.

OL Caden Barnett: If you want to make the roster as a UDFA, it's so crucial to be versatile. Barnet offers that with his experience playing at both guard and tackle. He may be able to play center, also.

RB Coleman Bennett: The rookie back posted a 4.25-second shuttle drill and a 10-4 broad jump at his pro day, marks that would've ranked 11th and third among backs at the combine. Bennet posted 764 rushing yards (4.9 yards per carry), 314 receiving yards and seven total touchdowns.

What's next for Bears rookies?

The next step for the team's draft picks and undrafted free-agent signings is rookie minicamp, which will be held either from May 1-4 or May 8-11.

Not only will rookie minicamp feature the draft picks and undrafted free agent signings, but the Bears might also bring in some players on tryouts.

After rookie minicamp, the Bears will move forward to OTA (organized team activities) offseason workouts from May 27-29, and then from June 2-4.

Mandatory minicamp comes after that, running from June 9-11. Once that's over, Chicago will take a break before training camp begins in late July.

The official start of the regular season comes in September, but we won't know the official dates and times of Bears games until sometime in May, when the official schedule is released.
