This was a close one! Earlier this week, we asked you guys to vote on who you think will be the Chicago Bears sack leader in 2026, and just one percentage point separated defensive ends Montez Sweat and Austin Booker. Sweat has led the Bears in sacks all three years he’s been in the Windy […]
The Chicago Bears have some obvious roster holes. The pass rush has been discussed ad nauseam since the season ended. Same with bettering the run defense. Actually, improving all three levels of the defense has been on most fans’ minds this offseason. The Bears signed a safety, a linebacker, and a defensive tackle in free […]
After the Bears’ trade of wide receiver DJ Moore to the Bills, they now have two second-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. If there’s any year to have multiple selections in Round 2, this might be the year to do it. In my evaluations, I firmly believe the best value of this class comes […]

After a tumultuous 2024 season that saw the Bears cycle through 2 head coaches and 3 offensive coordinators while rookie QB Caleb Williams took an NFL-leading 68 sacks, the Chicago Bears spent the 2025 offseason setting up their young QB for success.

New York Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade, and there are fan bases around the league that wonder if their team should make a move and try to acquire the dominating veteran.

Most Chicago Bears fans are expecting a defense-heavy haul in the 2026 NFL Draft, as they should because, well, the defense isn’t very good. As such, no one should be surprised to see ESPN’s three-round mock draft featuring Mel Kiper, Field Yates, and others go hard on that side of the ball for Chicago. The […]
The Chicago Bears return most of the players who helped them to a top 10 offense last season, but the defense was subpar by many metrics in 2025. While the bulk of their free agency budget was spent on defense, most of their additions were just plugging holes from guys who left. It can be […]
The Bears had been holding out hope that the NFL would see things their way and that they would still be awarded comp picks for their assistant general manager, Ian Cunningham, being hired by the Atlanta Falcons as their general manager.
