Bears' Jager Burton Visit Shows Ryan Poles has Potential Plan for Life After Bradbury
- The Bears are exploring long-term center options for 2026, signaling plans beyond Bradbury.
- Kentucky center Jager Burton visited Halas Hall, with Rapoport noting him as a likely Day 2 pick.
- Some draft analysts see Burton as a later-round developmental option rather than an immediate starter.
- If Burton is drafted, he could serve as a long-term center while the Bears evaluate Bradbury's role.
- The Bears are also linked to Sam Hecht, Jake Slaughter, and Logan Jones as potential 2026 options.
- The move aims to ensure the 2026 season supports Caleb Williams' development with a stable interior line.
- The report suggests Burton could be available in later rounds, aligning with the Bears' draft strategy.
- The visit underscores the Bears’ plan to address the center position before or during the 2026 season.
- Bradbury was acquired to replace Dalman but may not be the long-term answer at center.
