Just scroll down to the bottom for all […]
Grading the Top 10 Caleb Williams Throws From The 2025 Season
With the conclusion of the 2025 season for the Chicago Bears, we get to fondly look back and reflect on what we saw. There were plenty of “wow” moments in all phases from the ‘25 squad, but no player on the team embodied that “wow” factor more than second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. With the arrival […]

Who will win the Super Bowl, and are the Bears legit contenders next year?
We have a Super Bowl-centric set of questions on this week’s Reacts survey! First, fairly simple, who do you think will win this Sunday’s Super Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks or the New England Patriots?

The Bears have more cap flexibility than you think
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 […]
Chicago Bears Top Ten Playoff Wins of Super Bowl Era: 10. Bears White-Walsh Minnesota
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.

Bear & Balanced: Change is in the air for the Chicago Bears
The NFL offseason is the time for change. The Chicago Bears’ front office has seen a change as assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has left for the Atlanta Falcons. Chicago’s coaching staff lost running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to the Kansas City Chiefs and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to the Baltimore Ravens. And we’ll soon […]

Chicago Bears’ Rookie of the Year is Colston Loveland
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 […]
2026 Bears mock offseason: Free agency and draft moves after playoffs
The Bears’ season is over. It’s time for a mock offseason. I’ll be making my picks for free agency, the draft, open coaching positions, and which cuts, trades, and restructures to make to create some cap space. You know the drill. Let’s get into it. Bears coaching hires I originally had this article starting out […]
Question of the Day: Do you like the Bears playing International Games?

We want YOU to answer these free agency questions about the Chicago Bears!
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.

Two Bears listed in PFSN’s Top 100 Free Agent list
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 […]
Chicago Bears’ Special Teams Player of the Year is Cairo Santos
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, […]
Could Bears get their new Ozzy Trapilo this year in the draft?
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 […]

GOOCH vs Grok: What AI thinks the Ideal Chicago Bears Offseason would be
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 […]
Here’s the real problem with the Ian Cunningham-Falcons comp pick saga
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.
