When it comes to the offseason, there are a million different paths a team can take between the start of free agency and the opening of training camp (and just as many twists that can unfold between camp and Week 1.) Every move sets off a chain reaction, and the decisions made in March often […]
The Chicago Bears finally addressed the center position last offseason, and they were rewarded with a representative being chosen for the Pro Bowl.

I’ll admit it. I was mad.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson changed his offensive scheme from what he used in Detroit to better utilize his roster, but a few principles remained.

You know it’s getting wild when a guy I went to high school with is now trying to steal the Bears from the city of Chicago. Watching Portage Mayor Austin Bonta on ESPN Chicago talking about his city’s plans for a privately funded, taxpayer payer-free, and fully debt-free “Halas Harbor” for the Bears took me […]
With the Olympics underway, I’m thinking podiums. The trade of the #1 overall pick in 2023 netted Chicago Caleb Williams, Darnell Wright, DJ Moore, and a number of other roster improvements.

Well, this is fun. A recent article at NFL.com ranked and graded every 2025 rookie class from worst to first, and there were NFC North bookends with the Chicago Bears on top at number one (A) and the Green Bay Packers bringing up the rear in last place (D+). The Bears being number one wasn’t much of […]

Heading into year two of the Ben Johnson era, the Chicago Bears’ offense is coming off top ten production in points scored and yards, and every returning starter is under contract. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any changes, but continuity will be a key for the offense to take another step. Chicago’s defense, however, […]
