Aaron Leming’s Chicago Bears Mock Draft 2.0: Post-Free Agency
With the first wave of free agency having come and gone, each team’s pressing needs become clearer the closer we get to April. For the Chicago Bears, the needs are vast, but luckily, most of them are on one side of the ball. While it’s easy to classify them as “busy” at the start of […]
Legacies of Departing Bears
The modern NFL shifts rosters faster than ever. With the averaging coaching tenure shorter than a Minnesota summer, new regimes want their guys.

NFL Free Agency 2026: Chicago Bears Rumor and Report Tracker
The rumors and reports were really popping on Monday about the Chicago Bears! Things slowed way down on Tuesday. But by Wednesday, things picked up. However, yesterday it was back to a crawl with one signing in the morning and two departures in the late afternoon. The Bears still need to add some veteran depth […]
Chicago Bears Play it Safe in this 7-Round Mock Draft
While there are some who are concerned with the lack of “splash” moves by general manager Ryan Poles, the team itself has had its major holes addressed, and the floor of the team has been raised in multiple ways. Key defensive players have moved on, but a core of talent remains. Chicago now enters the […]
Arlington Heights Mayor: Bears Could Move By End of Month Without Deal
The timeline for the construction of a new Chicago Bears stadium continues to accelerate, and the mayor of Arlington Heights, IL seems to think a location could be decided upon by the end of March.

Report: Chicago Bears re-sign Jaylon Jones
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears are re-signing reserve cornerback Jaylon Jones to a one-year deal. Before I get into this signing, how does Jaylon Jones get ESPN’s number one NFL insider to break the news? The 28-year-old Jones was originally an undrafted free agent by the Bears in 2022, […]
Schefter: The Bears are broke (and what does that mean)
Chicago Bears fans have been excited about the players the Bears have added to the roster thus far in free agency. And, for the most part, they should be. Most of these players are either better fits or upgrades from those who manned that spot a year ago. But the one thing the Bears haven’t […]
Grading the signing of Jedrick Wills
The Chicago Bears had to figure out how to attack the left tackle position for the 2026 season after Ozzy Trapillo suffered a significant knee injury in the playoffs in January, and the Bears’ budget appeared to be pretty tight entering the offseason. When the Detroit Lions released Taylor Decker, given Ben Johnson’s familiarity with […]
Grading the signing of Devin Bush
The Chicago Bears made an interesting exchange at the linebacker position. Three years ago, the Chicago Bears made a big splash in free agency, inking Tremaine Edmunds to a big contract to replace Roquan Smith. During his three years with Chicago, Edmunds did make a few splash plays, but he didn’t attack the ball like […]
Grading the Signing of Kalif Raymond
After the Chicago Bears shipped DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills, it was clear they were going to need some sort of addition to the wide receiver room. Yes, Luther Burden and Rome Odunze would handle the top two spots, but it was going to be tough to imagine that Jahdae Walker would step in […]
The Bear’s Den, March XIII, 2026
THE DAILY SPONGIE ODEON OF DOMITIAN SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Ryan Poles confirms Bears had interest in Maxx Crosby “We were involved. We checked into it,” Poles said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “We looked to see if it made sense. Had some dialogue. I’ll leave it at that.” Bears GM Ryan Poles’ son was furious he […]
Fans Grade the Chicago Bears Initial Wave of Free Agency a B
On Tuesday night, we asked you guys to vote on the first couple of days of NFL free agency for the Chicago Bears, and since the majority of the votes came in on Wednesday, I’d imagine some voters chimed in after the Kevin Byard to the New England Patriots news broke. I’d imagine some votes […]
Bears were ‘Calculated’ with Early Free Agency Decisions
The Chicago Bears kicked off the 2026 league year with a free agency recap press conference on Thursday. General Manager Ryan Pole addressed the media, covering the player extensions, signings, and trades the team made over the past week that became official today. One of the biggest moves the Bears made in the offseason so […]
Grading the signing of Neville Gallimore
Entering this offseason, it was clear the Chicago Bears needed to focus on the defensive line. It was definitely the weakest position group on the roster, and certainly, they were going to make major additions to that group. Wrong. Perhaps the Bears were heavily in on Maxx Crosby, but most reports place them in the […]
Former Bears safeties Jaquan Brisker, C.J. Gardner-Johnson sign with Steelers, Bills
Two former Bears safeties signed deals elsewhere on Thursday. Jaquan Brisker signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Steelers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Likewise, C.J. Gardner-Johnson signed a one-year deal with the Bills, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. Brisker, who turns 27 in April, was a second-round pick by the Bears in […]
Grading the trade for Garrett Bradbury
Chicago Bears fans were stunned when Drew Dalman announced his retirement from football at the age of 27. Dalman was coming off an excellent year for the Bears and had a connection with Caleb Williams, and if anyone expected Drew Dalman news this offseason, it would have been an early extension, not a retirement. But […]
Grading the signing of Coby Bryant
The Chicago Bears replaced Kevin Byard by signing former Seattle Seahawks safety Coby Bryant to a 3-year deal worth $40 million. Byard had an outstanding season for Chicago, earning All-Pro honors, and many expected him to return. Byard eventually would sign a 1-year, $9 million deal with the New England Patriots. So why did the […]
Should the Chicago Bears re-sign Jaquan Brisker?
With the first two waves of free agency behind us, it’s time to pause and reflect on what has been done and what needs remain. Our own Donald Gooch explored what needs remain just yesterday, with Safety at the top of the list of remaining needs. While Jaquan Brisker remains unsigned by any team and […]

McFadden originally joined the Bears off waivers in January of 2025 from the Los Angeles Chargers, where he was a fifth-round pick from Clemson in 2023. While in L.A., […]
