Last week, it was reported that Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson wasn’t in attendance for the early voluntary Phase of workouts at Halas Hall. This isn’t anything new for Johnson, as he regularly spends the offseason working out at home while spending time with family, but once the mandatory portion of the offseason came around, […]
The Chicago Bears’ offseason training activities (OTAs) are in full swing and Head Coach, Ben Johnson, was tasked with speaking to the media at Halas Hall today to address some off the lingering storylines with his team.

Ben Johnson’s offense in year one with the Chicago Bears was different than what he did with the Detroit Lions. Sure, there were similar concepts he carried over, and his running game was again among the league’s best, but building a playbook around Caleb Williams is different than building one for Jared Goff, which is […]
If there is anything we learned from the NFL Draft, it’s that the best-laid plans of draft pundits and casual mock drafters mean very little to the people running NFL draft rooms during those three days in April. Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, many believed the Bears’ biggest priority was upgrading the defense, specifically […]
Over the next two weeks, the Chicago Bears will simultaneously turn up the heat on their offseason program and wrap it up before a six-week break ahead of training camp. While each offseason’s acquisition period brings plenty of change, the focus in Chicago is much more on continuity than on major changes in hopes of […]
Yesterday, it was reported that the Arizona Cardinals were taking calls on defensive end Josh Sweat. No teams were specifically mentioned as possible trade suitors, but with the Chicago Bears seemingly having a need at the position, it makes sense for general manager Ryan Poles to check in on the cost. Much like it also […]
As OTAs are opening, it’s time to begin our yearly series of the 10 Chicago Bears with the most to prove. This has been an interesting exercise each year, and unfortunately for the Bears, most of the players on these lists showed up on the wrong side of it by the end of the year. […]

For months the Chicago Bears have been connected to several defensive ends on both the veteran trade and free agent markets. Previously there has been confirmation the Bears expressed interest in Maxx Crosby, and general manager Ryan Poles has been open about monitoring the scene to potentially upgrade their roster at defensive end. Today has […]
All in all, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’ second NFL season was a rousing success. Not only did he and the Bears win their first playoff game since the 2010 season, but Williams set the single-season passing yards record while proving himself one of the best clutch quarterbacks in football. Now, Bears QB coach J.T. […]
With so much discourse over the strength of Chicago’s pass catchers this year as well as the concerns shared over the pass rushers, it got me thinking about previous position groups that have led the Bears and others that weighed their respective team down.

There has been such focus on the Chicago Bears’ defense this season that it’s easy to forget that the 2026 offense was among the league’s best. It’s true. Chicago’s offense compiled the 6th-most yards in the NFL, 6th in most first downs, ranked 9th in overall points scored, and 9th in percentage of drives ending […]
