NFL Network hits on the Chicago Bears’ biggest question mark going into 2026
When the Chicago Bears start training camp, one might expect the biggest topic, even more so than how the defense is going to stop anyone, to be this: Is third-year quarterback Caleb Williams primed for the MVP-style breakout other quarterbacks like Josh Allen have enjoyed? The answer to that question lies, as a recent Good […]
10 Most Important Bears of 2026: #5 Coby Bryant
Teams don’t normally get better when allowing a First Team All-Pro to leave, but that’s exactly what the Chicago Bears are hoping for this offseason with the addition of safety Coby Bryant to replace Kevin Byard III. These two are at very different places in their careers, with the 27-year-old Bryant beginning year five as […]
Training Camp Battle: RB3: Roschon Johnson vs Brittain Brown
As we move forward with our training camp battle series, we move to the offensive side of the ball, where we have an interesting development at running back. We know what the top of the Bears running back room is going to look like. D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are going to be splitting the […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: Who will have the biggest bounce-back year?
The Chicago Bears 2025 season was a massive success by almost any standard, but that doesn’t mean that there weren’t several underperformers on the Bears’ roster. Several names didn’t match expectations, ranging from disappointing sophomore seasons (Rome Odunze), to injury riddled campaigns (Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson), and underwhelming free agent signings (Grady Jarrett and […]

Former NFL Scout Ranks Bears OL Top Five In NFL
The Chicago Bears will enter the 2026 season with a little more uncertainty on the offensive line than they may have originally thought. Following the surprising retirement of Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman in March, the Bears looked to retool up front by drafting Iowa center Logan Jones, while also trading for New England Patriots […]

2027 Bears mock draft: Improving the interior defensive line
As Bears training camp approaches, it’s natural to wonder how their roster fares compared to the rest of the league going into the 2026-27 NFL season. On paper, there are certain positions on Chicago’s roster that look stronger than others. That’s obviously going to be the case for every team, but it remains to be […]
10 Most Important Bears of 2026: #6 Luther Burden III
Considering that Ben Johnson’s 2025 offense didn’t feature one wide receiver over the others, I went back and forth on having one appear on this year’s 10 Most Important Chicago Bears list. But Luther Burden III has a chance to be really special, so I had to include him. At his NFL Combine, he only […]
Question of the Day: Which Single-Season Bears Record is Most Likely to be Broken in 2026?
With Chicago’s offense as strong as it’s been in decades, if not longer, it got me thinking about the possibility of any franchise records being broken in 2026. Let’s take a look at which ones might come down this season on both sides of the ball, starting with the offense. Passing Passing Yards in a […]

10 Most Important Bears of 2026: #7 Jaylon Johnson
Last year, the Chicago Bears got only 7 regular-season games from Jaylon Johnson (and both postseason games), but I don’t think he was 100% in any of them. His offseason was hampered by a groin injury, and then during his first game (week 2 vs. the Lions), he suffered a different groin injury, this one […]
Training Camp Battle: LB2: D’Marco Jackson vs TJ Edwards

The NFL’s 5 Most Improved (Non-Playoff) Teams That Could Go Worst To First
Of all the professional sports leagues in the country, the NFL boasts one of the highest rates of turnover among playoff teams each year. Each year, we see teams go from worst to first.

THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Caleb Williams sends a signed jersey to Chicago native Pope Leo Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has sent a signed jersey to Pope Leo XIV. Leo, born as Robert Francis Prevost, is a Chicago native. And, given that there’s only one NFL team in town, it’s safe to say he’s a Bears fan. […]
10 Most Important Bears of 2026: #8 Grady Jarrett
Despite any expectations fans may have about Grady Jarrett, the Chicago Bears’ lack of significant movement at the position suggests they still expect him to be a difference-maker in the middle of the defense. Oh, sure, they brought in Neville Gallimore on a two-year, $10 million deal, but they needed a replacement for Andrew Billings. […]

How big a season do you expect from Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman?
Earlier this week, we asked you guys to vote on which Chicago Bears defender would lead the team in takeaways, and more than half of you went with newcomer Coby Bryant. After losing corner Nahshon Wright (8 takeaways), safety Kevin Byard (7 takeaways), and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (6 takeaways) to free agency, the Bears will […]

10 Most Important Bears of 2026: #9 Braxton Jones
I nearly went back to back with a position instead of a player here at number nine (much like center yesterday), but the more I thought about it, the more I realized Braxton Jones is the best case scenario at left tackle for the 2026 Chicago Bears. He was the best case last year, too, […]

THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Chicago Bears Running Back Room in top 15 Despite boasting the league’s third-best rushing attack and a prolific dual-threat backfield, analysts remain skeptical of the Chicago Bears’ running backs.

Should the Chicago Bears try to make this bold trade prediction come true?
Aside from the edge position, there’s one spot on the Chicago Bears roster that, honestly, could’ve used a slight upgrade: running back. Yes, D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai were among the best running back duos in the NFL last year, and Swift had a career year in 2025 after struggling in his first Bears season […]
