A Chicago Bears community
We’re still waiting on the full NFL schedule to drop, but with all the International series games announced, we now know the travel miles for each franchise, and the Chicago Bears will travel the third fewest this season. Chicago’s longest trip, and its only road game west of the Central time zone, is against the […]
There wasn’t anything Walter Payton couldn’t do while on a football field. He was the best running back ever, having retired as the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, a feat he mostly accomplished without a single other offensive Pro Bowl player on the field with him for his first ten years in the league. All 11 […]
Ever since coming over via trade in the middle of the 2023 season, Bears Edge Montez Sweat has led the team in sacks each year. Will that change in 2026? If so, who are the likeliest candidates? Though Sweat had more sacks (6) in 9 games in 2023 than he did (5.5) in 16 games […]

Chicago Bears Rookie Minicamp: Dennis Allen Discusses Dayo Odeyingbo’s Fit “Yeah, he fits well on the bench?” No, DA didn’t say that. Everybody else is though. POLISH SAUSAGE Report: Missouri RB Ahmad Hardy released from hospital, […]
In 2025, a big reason for the Bears’ improvement on offense came from a better offensive line. Heading into the new year, it seems as though their unit comes in high regard. ESPN’s Mike Clay put together a rating for every starting offensive lineman in the NFL, as well as an overall ranking of each […]
Don’t let any other fan base tell you the Chicago Bears didn’t earn their strong 2025 season. They were talented, clutch, and had a nose for the football. However, it is possible (likely?) that the Bears show regression in one or more areas that they were exceptional at in 2025. The other side of the […]
Last week, we brought you the data that the Chicago Bears had the sixth hardest strength of schedule (SOS) in the National Football League when applying the 2026 betting lines for the over/under team wins. It’s a newer way to look at SOS, but it’s not the most common that fans think of. The traditional […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears sign four players, announce WR Squirrel White’s retirement Yay on the new players but sad news that all of our Squirrel jokes will go un-snarked. 2026 NFL rookies: Day 2-3 draft picks with instant impact includes Bear Field Yates shows some love to a “controversial” Bears pick with some […]
Now that the bulk of the acquisition period from the offseason is in the rearview mirror, it’s time to take stock of what each team has done. While the 2026 NFL regular season is still three and a half months away, most of the heavy lifting in the roster-building department is out of the way, […]
The Chicago Bears announced four signings on Monday, two of which came at the wide receiver position. In addition, undrafted rookie wide receiver Squirrel White was placed on the reserve/retired list. The signings Chicago made are as follows: The most notable player of the bunch is Scotty Miller, who spent four seasons with the Buccaneers […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Undrafted QB Miller Moss unlikely to make Bears’ roster this season, but there’s value in developing him Miller, who backed up Caleb Williams at USC, is the fourth-string quarterback and likely headed for the practice squad if he impresses in training camp. But that could be the first step toward […]
Let’s play out a little thought exercise. You are plucked from your couch and asked to conduct the NFL draft for the Chicago Bears. You’ll sit in a room with a landline phone to call in the picks to New York and you won’t be let out until the draft concludes. No cell phones, no […]
The Chicago Bears are back to square one, “at the bottom again,” according to head coach Ben Johnson. However, that’s not really true. They now carry with them the expectation that they will be a good team. “Improvement” isn’t enough–they need to keep winning, and that will be hard so long as the defense continues […]
The 32nd annual NFLPA Rookie Premiere is set to take place in Los Angeles, California from May 14-16, and the Chicago Bears will be represented by one of their new wide receivers at the event. The team’s third round pick out of Mississippi State, Zavion Thomas, has been announced as one of the 42 rookies […]
The Chicago Bears continue to invest in Ben Johnson’s vision with creating more competition across the entire roster. Following an impressive tryout, a homecoming and reunion are taking place simultaneously. A move that also adds another Super Bowl champion into their locker room. Per Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey via Adam Schefter of ESPN the […]
I was ecstatic when the Chicago Bears selected Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman with the twenty-fifth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. It was a perfect marriage of the best player available and team need, and he should be a week one starter roaming the Chicago secondary for a decade. ESPN’s Matt Bowen, a seven-year […]
Chicago Bears fans have been pleased with the team’s wide receiver room entering the 2026 season, and why not? Both Luther Burden and Rome Odunze have shown promise early in their careers, Jahdae Walker looks like he could be a contributor despite being a UDFA last year, and the Bears added Mr. Versatility, Kalif Raymond, […]
No matter where the Chicago Bears end up playing in the years to come, the team will likely remain a constant presence in the city of Chicago (and beyond). The Bears recently highlighted the charitable outreach they have done over the course of the last year in a release on the team’s website as part […]
Before the 2026 NFL Draft, you might have figured wide receiver would be last on the list of the Bears’ draft priorities with Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Jahdae Walker, and the newly signed Kalif Raymond in the fold, not to mention having an elite pass-catching tight end in Colston Loveland on the roster. If […]
Take a look at the newest numbers for our newest Bears. CB, Malik Muhammad – #24 S, Dillon Thieneman – #31 LB, Keyshaun Elliot – #49 C, Logan Jones – #54 WR, Zavion Thomas – #81 TE, Sam Roush – #87 DT, Jordan van den Berg – #96 Obviously, Dillon Thieneman’s #31 is no surprise […]
Some of the Chicago Bears are on the field at Halas Hall today for a two-day rookie minicamp. Besides their 2026 draft class and undrafted free agents, several rookies (and a few veterans) are there on a tryout basis. Here’s the roster of players for this weekend that the Bears gave out to the media […]
With the Chicago Bears starting rookie minicamp this weekend, the team announced they’ve signed four of their seven draft picks. The team has agreed to terms with day three picks CB Malik Muhammad, LB Keyshawn Elliott and DL Jordan van der Berg. They have also signed their second third-round pick WR Zavion Thomas. These contracts […]
The undrafted free agents are like lottery tickets for teams. They are young, low-cost players who, if they make the roster, can provide depth with minimal impact on the salary cap. If they really develop, they can be multi-year contributors to a roster, or even earn starting reps in some instances. Some can even become […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Johnson leaves Springfield ‘determined’ after pushing for new city revenue and against Bears suburban move Johnson is bound and determined to be the reason the Bears leave the state. Apparently. As Bears rookies report for minicamp, team leaning harder than ever on coaching staff Coaches up! Bears waive CB Zah […]
The Bears’ 2025 season was about as chaotic as a season could get. As far as potential events that can impact the result of a game, Chicago witnessed extremes on both ends of the spectrum. For one, the Bears led the NFL with 33 turnovers forced in 2025. That helped offset lowing rankings in areas […]
