Latest news and updates about the Bears
Let’s address the elephant in the room: the Bears have negative cap space heading into the 2026 NFL offseason. It’s not the abundance of resources fans are used to seeing. Chicago has been big spenders almost every year that Ryan Poles has been their general manager. Last year was no exception: they traded for both […]
The NFL offseason is the time for change. The Chicago Bears’ front office has seen a change as assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has left for the Atlanta Falcons. Chicago’s coaching staff lost running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to the Kansas City Chiefs and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to the Baltimore Ravens. And we’ll soon […]

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears named tight end Colston Loveland, the tenth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, as their Rookie of the Year. In any other year, the Bears could have honored wide receiver Luther Burden or running back Kyle Monangai, but this year, it was the dynamic Loveland who took home the […]
The Bears’ season is over. It’s time for a mock offseason. I’ll be making my picks for free agency, the draft, open coaching positions, and which cuts, trades, and restructures to make to create some cap space. You know the drill. Let’s get into it. Bears coaching hires I originally had this article starting out […]
The Ravens made it officially official with Declan Doyle, who becomes the new offensive coordinator in Baltimore after a one-year stint with the Chicago Bears in that same role. Happy trails, Declan.

Earlier today, the NFL announced that they’ll play a 2026 regular season game in Madrid, Spain, and a game in Paris, France, which brings the confirmed number of such games in the league’s International Series to eight. UPDATE: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced they’ll also play a game in Mexico City. The NFL will also […]
I am ready to follow any and all Trey Hendrickson rumors this offseason. Fans who support 30 of the NFL’s 32 teams are in offseason mode. And after the type of season the Chicago Bears just had, it feels like everyone has their general manager caps on with hopes of devising a plan to make this team better in 2026. As you might expect, many plans involve adding an impact pass-rusher to the mix. More specifically, Hendrickson. Over at Pro Football Focus, Mason Cameron has the best land...
One of draft season’s biggest events – the Senior Bowl – is officially behind us. A few players had some great weekends and did wonders for their draft stock. How many will find themselves going off the board in the first round? Let’s look at another 2026 NFL Mock Draft as we inch closer to the big day in April . 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. Las Vegas Raiders: QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana As of now, Fernando Mendoza seems to be the runaway leader in the clubhouse to be the Raide...
Day 15 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I’ve already begun my Super Bowl food preparation by nailing down the chili recipe I’m going to use via my friend Jim. It is my favorite chili recipe to go off of because of its versatility. For instance, I love using a blend of Italian sausage and ground beef when I make that recipe. I once made it with ground turkey, chorizo, and diced chicken. There is an idea rattling around in my head of what I want to do this time. We’ll see if I can nail it down by...
In a vacuum, I recognize that needing to come back from a 2-1 deficit with the help of two penalties, one of which your player misses, and a few other lucky bounces, all against the worst team in the league, is not ideal. If Borussia Dortmund are indeed able to run down Bayern Munich in […]
Day 14 of the Chicago Bears offseason. Pat yourself on the back if you successfully made it through January. Just don’t hurt yourself while doing so. I’ve been thinking about what the duties of being the offensive coordinator for Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson entails, which brought me back to this Declan Doyle quote from his introductory press conference last February: “Basically, I have to do that work that (Johnson’s) not gonna have time to do, and he’s going to have to be abl...
We’ll occasionally have staff roundtables here at Windy City Gridiron, where members of our team answer a few questions about the Chicago Bears, but today I wanted to flip the script. I guess you can call this a reverse roundtable, because I want you, our WCG members, to answer these three questions. 1) Of all […]
We’re about five weeks away from NFL Free Agency, and with the salary cap expected to jump from this year’s $279.2 million to a projected $301.2 to $305.7 million, the Chicago Bears (and the other 31 teams) will have more to play with. The Bears didn’t have much cap wiggle room at season’s end, but […]
Yesterday, the Chicago Bears named kicker Cairo Santos as their Special Teams Player of the Year, which was well deserved, because in a season full of clutch moments, Santos had a hand in several of their comebacks. His understanding of the Soldier Field winds is something he’s learned in the last six years in Chicago, […]
Day 13 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I haven’t slept well in about a week. The bad news is that it is starting to catch up with me. But the good news is that I have a plan in place to get a good night’s sleep tonight. Hopefully, nothing throws me off or sidetracks my plans. Keep your fingers crossed. Happy Senior Bowl Day! Patrick has a Senior Bowl primer full of names Bears fans should get to know at a variety of positions including edge rushers, interior defensive linemen, linebacke...
As much as Chicago Bears fans might not like to admit it, they now have a priority even higher than fixing the defensive line: finding a left tackle. With Ozzy Trapilo going down due to a serious patellar tendon injury that will require a long recovery, this team’s left tackle for the 2026 season might […]
Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will be leaving to become the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday. Doyle, 29, will be taking over offensive play-calling duties for Baltimore, according to Schefter’s report.

A little over one week after hiring new head coach Jesse Minter, the Ravens have filled their second-most important coaching vacancy by hiring Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. He will take up the same job in Baltimore, where he will be tasked with building a new offense around two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson. Doyle, 29, […]
Day 12 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I woke up this morning, looked outside, and thought about how being at Wrigley Field on a Friday at 1:20 p.m. CT could fix me right now. Summer is coming … right? I started writing this top Bullet about the Atlanta Falcons hiring away Bears Assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham, then stopped when I realized it was rapidly becoming a post. With that being said, one thing that I’ll share here as a lead point is that I am struggling to strike a bal...
Those that know WCG’s Bchuk44, know that he usually leans heavily towards the optimistic side of things. But with great hope comes greater expectations. Which, for Bears fans typically leads to inevitable disappointment. Like many of you, Bchuk had very high hopes for dozens of players on this team heading into this year. Most of […]
