Bears Pro Bowl offensive lineman Drew Dalman has informed the team of his retirement at age 27, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The decision comes as a major surprise considering Dalman's age, lucrative contract, and on-field excellence.

Dalman, who played four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons before joining Chicago, helped transform the Bears from worst to first in the NFC North during his lone season with the team.
