On Tuesday afternoon, Adam Schefter broke the news that Chicago Bears’ Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman informed the team that he was retiring before the 2026 season after only a single year in Chicago, despite having two years remaining on his contract.

The Chicago Bears will not Host an International Game in 2026
The full slate of host teams for the NFL’s International Series has been announced, and the Chicago Bears will not give up a home game this season. However, that doesn’t mean the Bears won’t be picked as the designated road team in one of these games. The Bears are scheduled to travel to play two […]
Revisiting the Bears 2025 Draft: 7th Round – Pick 233
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 […]

Aaron Leming’s Chicago Bears Seven Round Mock 1.0 Post-Combine Edition
With the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis over the weekend, the offseason is just days away from kicking into full swing. While free agency might come first in the NFL, most general managers will tell you that the best approach to a successful process is to take the best player available. […]
Chicago Bears reportedly keeping tabs on Maxx Crosby via latest trade rumors
The Maxx Crosby trade saga could resolve itself sooner rather than later, according to Sports Illustrated insider Albert Breer. And it appears the Chicago Bears are indeed a player in the sweepstakes. In his latest edition of MMQB, Breer outlined some notes he’d heard from people around the league, including thoughts on how the “best […]
Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson in the House for Another Big Comeback
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson attended the Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks game on Sunday afternoon at the United Center. And what a fitting game it was for Johnson to attend as the Bulls came back to beat the Bucks, overcoming a 15-point halftime deficit and snapping their 11-game losing streak to win 120 […]
The Bear’s Den, March 2, 2025
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Left tackle back among Bears’ NFL Draft options at No. 25 overall after Ozzy Trapilo’s knee injury Wouldn’t be the end of the world, but it also wouldn’t be my first choice. Let’s find a one-year veteran instead. Safety first? Bears could end up rebuilding the entire position group I […]
Report: Chicago Bears’ Tremaine Edmunds has ‘strong trade value’
On February 25, it was reported that the Chicago Bears were granting linebacker Tremaine Edmunds permission to seek a trade, and the report was met with the usual, ‘Why would anyone trade for a guy who is probably getting cut?’ Well, you never know until you try, and it sounds like there could be a […]
2026 Bears draft: Top OL to watch in Day 4 of Combine workouts
Sunday marks the final day of workouts in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. This time around, it’s the offensive linemen who get their chance to shine in Indianapolis. The Bears find themselves in a much more favorable position along their offensive line than they were this time a year ago. That said, there are still […]
Should the Chicago Bears pick up the 5th year option on Darnell Wright?
A couple of days ago, the NFL set the salary cap number for the 2026 season at t $301.2 million. That’s a healthy $22 million increase over last year, but not quite as big a jump as some predicted. Teams must all be cap-compliant by the start of the league’s new year on March 11, […]
Thoughts on Day 3 NFL Combine workouts: Skills players come out smoking
1. Get ready for the Bears to draft another running back. Like four other positional groups before them, the running backs set the record for fastest average 40 time ever at a blazing 4.4 seconds—albeit in a small sample size. They followed that up by being just as impressive and consistent in on-field drills, with […]
2026 Bears draft: Top QB/RB/WR to watch in Day 3 of Combine workouts
Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is upon us. While it’s arguably the most exciting day of workouts to watch as the quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers hit the field, it’s also arguably the one the Bears need to pay the least attention to. Rather, it’s more the positions that the Bears […]
Caleb Williams could be 3rd all-time for Chicago Bears passing yards after this season
After just two seasons, it’s pretty clear that Caleb Williams already has an argument as the greatest Chicago Bears quarterback of all time. There’s no question that no quarterback previously can do what Williams does on the field, but, obviously, Williams doesn’t have the career stats after two seasons to quite grab the mantle. But […]
Thoughts on Defensive backs workouts: Bears will have plenty of options
Through two days of NFL Combine workouts, one thing seems pretty clear: the best defensive position players in the 2026 NFL Draft class aren’t up front. They’re at linebacker and safety. A day after the linebackers set Lucas Oil Stadium on fire, the safeties did the same, putting on a clinic for the 32 teams […]
Assessing Tyson Bagent’s market in 2026 vs 2027
Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson’s 2026 roster is a very fluid situation. The Bears are still over the 2026 salary cap, and while it won’t be too difficult for them to get under the cap for next year, exactly how far under they determine will affect exactly how they can approach this offseason and how […]
2026 Bears draft: Top DB/TE to watch in Day 2 of Combine workouts
The second day of workouts in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine takes place on Friday. This go-around, the defensive backs — the cornerbacks and safeties — and tight ends will be taking the field in Indianapolis. Thursday saw a loaded group of defensive linemen and linebackers take part in drills. That leaves a high bar […]
Veteran defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson might have just become available for Bears
The Chicago Bears’ defensive line woes likely can’t be solved through the draft alone after how abysmally they performed in all facets last season. Even as people pore over mock drafts to grab the next superstar edge or defensive tackle, the Bears are no doubt studying the veteran market for potential moves heading into free […]

Introducing… The Chicago Draft Room!
The NFL Combine is always a football smorgasbord with 32 general managers, player agents, and media members all in one place. We’ve already started seeing a bunch of news coming out of Indianapolis, because this is where initial free-agent talks begin (yes, even before the early negotiation period), trades are discussed, and rumors are floated.
