‘I don’t know which move I love more’ — Chicago’s new acquisitions are in the building and Bears Twitter is psyched

March has been one helluva month at Halas Hall, where, over the last two weeks, the Chicago Bears have:

Given their previously-leaky offensive line a makeover, acquiring former Pro Bowl guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson via trade.

Signed arguably the best-available free agent center in Drew Dalman.

Brought in up-and-coming EDGE rusher Dayo Odeyingbo and veteran D-lineman Grady Jarrett, also via free agency

This flurry of activity has Bears Twitter freaking out. But in a good way.

Chicago Bears Nation Blows Up Social Media

Some canny Twitter denizens are digging the non-football gravitas the newbie Bears bring into the locker room:

I don't think you can measure the amount of leadership and credibility Joe Thuney and Grady Jarrett are going to bring to the Bears locker room. pic.twitter.com/tpdoHY050P

I don’t know which move I love more Thuney or Grady Jarrett. 2 legit ass kickers on both sides of the LOS. Also some much needed Vet leadership.

For her part, a local Chicago sports anchor noted that Thuney et al are already helping change the culture:

Definitely a different energy and vibe coming in with this free agency class for the #Bears. Experience, tenacity, and winning pedigree.

A few folks are so dang happy that they want to give Bears GM Ryan Poles some fancy headwear

After a 4 year search and multiple leaders shipped for pocket change, Poles has finally brought in 2 true captains in Jarrett and Thuney. Someone run to BK and send Poles his crown.

One fan a dropped a classic Larry David GIF, which, generally speaking, isn’t a bad thing.

All the complaints throughout the 2024 season for the Bears were that their trenches sucked (they did).

Ryan Poles has taken that to heart and has attacked both sides of the ball in the last week with Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, Dayo Odeyingbo and Grady Jarrett. pic.twitter.com/8wpeL1j9Oq

And like Chicago’s social media users, we don’t know which move we love more.
