Our Chicago Bears mock draft stories will certainly look different this year, that much we know. Because unlike previous seasons where we have been looking at what prospects land in the top-10, Chicago’s pick isn’t until No. 25.

And when it comes to the pick he sends to Chicago, my interest is definitely piqued. Because with ...
The Tribune’s Brad Biggs offering up Eric Studesville as “a name to keep an eye on” in the Chicago Bears search for a new running backs coach certainly caught my attention. With the Kansas City Chiefs hiring Eric Bieniemy to be the team’s new offensive coordinator , Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is on the hunt for a new running backs coach. Perhaps he could turn to someone he is familiar with from his early coaching days. This tweet from Biggsy certainly caught my attention: ...
Ian, it’s not too late. I understand why at first interviewing for the Atlanta Falcons job seemed appealing. The Falcons are a team without a first-round pick, with questions at quarterback, and without the cap flexibility to fix everything without some patience and actual skill. Heck, Ryan Pace was even involved in making the mess. […]

Day 9 of the Chicago Bears offseason. My friends are challenging me to try new things in the kitchen. First up: Cake box cookies. The result? Meh. It works in a pinch. And at least I have some cookies to nibble on whenever I have a craving. But my go-to cookie recipe is goated among my friend groups, so this isn’t one I’ll try again. However, it never hurts to try new things — hence, I’m glad I did it. I hope Shedeur Sanders making the Pro Bowl doesn’t lessen the shine off Nahshon Wrigh...

Every dollar counts when you’re trying to build a sustainable Super Bowl contender. So while we will dig deeper into the Chicago Bears’ salary cap situation when we get closer to the start of the new league year in March, today felt like a good day to check in on things as they stand right now. At first blush, things don’t look great for the Bears. Chicago’s football team is $17,396,354 * OVER * the projected 2025 salary cap, per OverTheCap’s calculations . There are several teams with le...

Day 8 of the Chicago Bears offseason. Who’s ready for the Super Bowl? Super Bowl LX is Set … So Who Ya Got? — Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) January 26, 2026 It’s wild to think about Sam Darnold being the first quarterback taken in Round 1 from the famed 2018 NFL Draft class of signal callers to reach the Super Bowl. Not Josh Allen. Not Lamar Jackson. Not Baker Mayfield. But Sam Darnold. What a journey for that guy! Kinda funny: Darnold leaving the Vikings and imm...

Not gonna lie, it still stings a bit that the Chicago Bears lost that game to the Los Angeles Rams. But I guess if the Bears were gonna go out, better it be in such a remarkable game against a perennial playoff contender and MVP candidate, than against the Packers. Plus, Caleb Williams gave us […]
Day 7 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I’d rather be preparing for a NFC Championship Game battle against the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, I’ll spend a chunk of my day staring out the window thinking about what could have been. Sigh . The Green Bay Packers hired a new defensive coordinator. And while we’ll probably take a deeper dive into this hire later this week, I wanted to get some initial thoughts regarding Jonathan Gannon’s hire on the board right now while I had a moment: A b...
