Former Alabama lineman reportedly signs one-year deal with NFL team

[ASFN Admin]

Former Alabama offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Wills will get a second chance in the NFL following a string of unfortunate injuries over the past few seasons. The former Alabama star hasn’t appeared in a game since 2024, as Wills sat out the entirety of the 2025 season.

Wills was nothing short of a superstar throughout his time at Alabama. The big man is still just 26 years old, as the former Alabama offensive lineman was originally a top 10 selection by the Cleveland Browns back in the 2020 NFL draft.

A player who has started 57-of-58 games played across his five NFL seasons, Wills will look to bounce back next season throughout his first year in Chicago.
