Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Well, that was a punch in the gut, wasn’t it? We were all shocked as news leaked on Tuesday that Drew Dallman, the Bears’ 27-year-old center, was retiring from the NFL. Dalman, who signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Bears last offseason after four years in Atlanta, was a […]

The assumption is that the San Francisco 49ers will swing for a wide receiver this offseason. How big that swing will be might be determined by the market. The 49ers could use a first-round pick on a wide receiver for the second time in three years. After the Chicago Bears just traded DJ Moore to […]
The Los Angeles Rams knocked the Chicago Bears out of the playoffs last season and now Ben Johnson’s team is hoping that addition by subtraction leads to more additions. The Bears traded wide receiver D.J. Moore to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, a day after the team learned that young center Drew Dalman is retiring […]
The Buffalo Bills have traded for Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore. The move reunites Moore with his former coach, Joe Brady, who was with him while they were on the Carolina Panthers.

I missed this report yesterday from ESPN’s David Kaplan — h/t to Luis C. Medina from Bleacher Nation Bears — regarding Chicago Bears safety Kevin Byard III, and the odds on him returning to Chicago. “I was told by somebody who would know, that he is 70-30 that he is going to be a Bear,” […]

There was plenty of buzz around the Chicago Bears after last season’s NFC North title and playoff win, and that buzz hasn’t cooled down a bit this offseason.

If the Chicago Bears’ defense was one thing in 2026, it was opportunistic. Led by coordinator Dennis Allen, Chicago forced the most turnovers of any team in the NFL with 33, largely driven by a league-leading 23 interceptions.

Chicago’s second pick in the 2023 draft is a bit of a Rorschach test for Bears fans. Is Gervon Dexter a good player or a barely adequate one? The eye test tells a conflicting story. He seldom commands double teams. He produces but not reliably. In 2025 he was 50th of all players in sacks, […]

We all know it takes more than a single season to accurately assess the success of any draft class. Our own Josh Sunderbruch does a phenomenal job of explaining why this is and looking back at a more reasonable benchmark. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take a moment to look back and see how […]
