A Chicago Bears community
Let’s address the elephant in the room: the Bears have negative cap space heading into the 2026 NFL offseason. It’s not the abundance of resources fans are used to seeing. Chicago has been big spenders almost every year that Ryan Poles has been their general manager. Last year was no exception: they traded for both […]
The Super Bowl is less than a week away, and the Chicago Bears aren’t participating in the game yet again, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t take significant strides this year towards appearing in one in the near future. The Bears won their 11th playoff game of the Super Bowl era this year against […]

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears named tight end Colston Loveland, the tenth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, as their Rookie of the Year. In any other year, the Bears could have honored wide receiver Luther Burden or running back Kyle Monangai, but this year, it was the dynamic Loveland who took home the […]

We’ll occasionally have staff roundtables here at Windy City Gridiron, where members of our team answer a few questions about the Chicago Bears, but today I wanted to flip the script. I guess you can call this a reverse roundtable, because I want you, our WCG members, to answer these three questions. 1) Of all […]

We’re about five weeks away from NFL Free Agency, and with the salary cap expected to jump from this year’s $279.2 million to a projected $301.2 to $305.7 million, the Chicago Bears (and the other 31 teams) will have more to play with. The Bears didn’t have much cap wiggle room at season’s end, but […]
Yesterday, the Chicago Bears named kicker Cairo Santos as their Special Teams Player of the Year, which was well deserved, because in a season full of clutch moments, Santos had a hand in several of their comebacks. His understanding of the Soldier Field winds is something he’s learned in the last six years in Chicago, […]
As much as Chicago Bears fans might not like to admit it, they now have a priority even higher than fixing the defensive line: finding a left tackle. With Ozzy Trapilo going down due to a serious patellar tendon injury that will require a long recovery, this team’s left tackle for the 2026 season might […]
Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will be leaving to become the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday. Doyle, 29, will be taking over offensive play-calling duties for Baltimore, according to Schefter’s report. With their new head coach Jesse Minter coming from a defensive background, their offensive coordinator hire […]
AI…Artificial Intelligence. It’s been a major component of our sci-fi fiction for decades. While Skynet hasn’t gone online, and we don’t see robots walking around downtown, with the advent of large language models, we are seeing a massive increase in the number of AIs available and the use of AI in numerous contexts. So, I […]
Ever since the Chicago Bears hired Ryan Poles and Ian Cunningham to their respective general manager and assistant GM positions back in 2022, I saw people talking about it. That for the first time since the NFL had instituted its new rules awarding compensatory draft picks to teams that had a minority coaches and/or executive […]
Those that know WCG’s Bchuk44, know that he usually leans heavily towards the optimistic side of things. But with great hope comes greater expectations. Which, for Bears fans typically leads to inevitable disappointment. Like many of you, Bchuk had very high hopes for dozens of players on this team heading into this year. Most of […]

Yesterday, the Chicago Bears announced that quarterback Caleb Williams was their Offensive Player of the Year, so naturally, the Defensive Player of the Year announcement was coming today, and All-Pro safety Kevin Byard III was “Honored” with the honor.

Chicago Bears fans don’t need any more proof that Ben Johnson is the perfect coach for this team. But I’m sure you won’t say no to some more. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell put together his rankings of the best head-coaching hires of the last five years—a total of 37 overall. And guess who has already cracked […]
In the middle of the season, when the Bears were on a roll, I had some fun and put out an AI-generated image of Ben Johnson on Mount Rushmore with George Halas, Mike Ditka, and Lovie Smith, and declared that he was already the Bears’ fourth-greatest coach in team history. Most fans rolled their eyes […]
