Bear & (NOT) Balanced: Football Festivus – 10 Things We Hate About Football
The NFL is a ratings juggernaut, and they’ve managed to manipulate their yearly schedule to ensure there’s always something to talk about. For some, the offseason isn’t as newsworthy as the regular season and the playoffs, but you’d be blown away at how many eyes free agency and the draft bring in, at how interested […]
WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football: Assessing Adam Hess’ Roster
It’s Saturday and the Bears report to camp in just a few days. That means next week we are going to be pivoting to a lot of training camp coverage, which means we should wrap up our Dynasty Fantasy Football series this weekend. We have four teams left, so let’s dive in. Adam Hess is […]
Projecting The Top 3 Defensive Training Camp Battles For The Chicago Bears
In Part 1 of this installment, we focused on the offensive side of the ball. While there isn’t nearly as much angst as we’ve seen in recent years regarding that unit, the defense still has plenty of questions to be answered in the coming weeks. It’s fair to say that with a Top 10-15 defense, […]
WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football: Assessing Jeff Berckes’ Roster
We have five teams left for our series of WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football roster assessments. Today we are looking at Jeff Berckes’ roster. JB took over this roster this past offseason and is working on retooling it and tweaking it into his image. Is this roster ready to win now? Does it need to rebuild? […]
WCG Dynasty Fantasy Football: Assessing Bill Zimmerman’s Roster
We have six more rosters to analyze before training camp officially opens for the Chicago Bears, so let’s get into it with two today, two Saturday, and two on Sunday. Today we are going to look at my roster and see where it’s at. A couple of years ago, I decided to rip my team […]
Why the Bears will be watching Devon Witherspoon, Christian Gonzalez contracts closely
Like it or not, there’s no escaping the business of sports. And even as the Chicago Bears prepare to open the 2026 NFL season with Super Bowl aspirations, one very important player has major question marks about their future with the franchise that could be illuminated soon. All-Pro cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who seems to be […]
Bears QB Caleb Williams ranks No. 51 in NFL Top 100
The NFL has been releasing its NFL Top 100 participants slowly over the last few weeks, and on Friday, the moment came that Bears fans were waiting for: Caleb Williams was announced as the No. 51 player on their list. This marks Williams’ first appearance on the annual list as he ends into his third […]
Training Camp Battle: LT: Braxton Jones vs Jedrick Wills vs Theo Benedet
The Chicago Bears’ offensive line has felt like a dumpster fire for years and years. After Ryan Pace’s offensive line fell apart the last couple of years, Ryan Poles took a long time to address the offensive line and didn’t do too much outside of Darnell Wright until Ben Johnson arrived. Finally, in 2025, Bears […]
Chicago Bears 2026 Training Camp Position Breakdown: Cornerback
Last season, the Chicago Bears had three cornerbacks spend all of, or most of, the year on injured reserve. Two of those players appear to be back and ready to go for training camp, Jaylon Johnson and Terell Smith, but the third, Kyler Gordon, has missed time this offseason with what was reported to be […]

Ranking Ryan Poles’ draft picks from 2022 and 2023
Ryan Poles concluded his fifth draft as the general manager of the Bears in April, headlining the class with Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman. It’s exciting to imagine what could come from his haul in the 2026 NFL Draft, especially seeing the success Chicago had from their rookie class in 2025. The general belief within the […]
Chicago Bears 2026 Training Camp Position Breakdown: Safety
The Chicago Bears carried four safeties last year, and if that trend continues, then there’s not much drama at this position this season. Roster Locks The Bears paid Coby Bryant $40 million over three years to man one safety spot, so he’ll essentially replace Kevin Byard III, who not only played at an All-Pro level […]
The Bear’s Den, July 23, 2026
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Time to take charge: Bears QB Caleb Williams “must” be so on top of his job that he can keep others on track Don’t you love it when people who couldn’t begin to play a sport tell pro athletes what the “must” do? Chicago Bears rookie outlook: Will Logan Jones […]
Projecting The Top 3 Offensive Training Camp Battles For The Chicago Bears
They say that the offseason always feels shorter when your favorite team makes the playoffs. For the Chicago Bears and their fans, I’m not sure they would share the same sentiment. Although the offseason was technically shortened by two weeks due to a pair of playoff games, the feeling of getting back and challenging for […]

Bears’ Loveland Lands on NFLPA’s “Rising Stars List”
An offseason of both acknowledgment and rising expectations continues for Bears’ TE Colston Loveland. After being featured among the top 10 players at his position earlier this summer, the 2nd year man can now be found alongside a group of both rookies and veterans poised to make an impact on the retail market. This comes […]
Chicago Bears’ Young Talent Named Among the NFL’s Best
The Chicago Bears, coming off of a successful 2025 campaign, appear poised for a multi-year run of contention due to the amount of young talent on the team. It all starts up front with QB Caleb Williams (24 years old), but he’s far from the only young building block that GM Ryan Poles has assembled. […]
Training Camp Battle: EDGE2: Austin Booker vs Dayo Odeyingbo
We have just a couple more training camp battles to look at before the Bears report to training camp next week. Let’s pivot back to the defense and focus on the line, which has a lot of questions and potentially not a lot of answers. Even though there may not be answers, there may not […]
Chicago Bears 2026 Training Camp Position Breakdown: Linebacker
The Chicago Bears made only one* significant change to their linebacking corps this season, but this group will look much different than the group that played in 2025. Roster Locks Tremaine Edmunds, who was much better than fans want to give him credit for, was cut in a cap-saving move, and the Bears signed Devin […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Chicago Bears fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Like many, the first thought I had on this topic was tight end. After all, […]
Chicago Bears’ Tight Ends Coach Jim Dray is a Breakout Candidate
Well-coached and successful teams, which the Chicago Bears now appear to be, always run the risk of their assistant coaches being hired away. The Ben Johnson era was just a season old, and the Bears lost offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to the Baltimore Ravens and running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to the Kansas City Chiefs. […]
Five Questions Surrounding The Chicago Bears Heading Into Training Camp
Fresh off their first NFC North title in seven seasons, the Chicago Bears are entering training camp with a sense of continuity. Head coach Ben Johnson enters his second year as the head man, and aside from a few minor shuffles, his coaching staff remains largely intact. Coupled with a roster that should be close […]
