Earlier today, our guy Aaron Leming gave a detailed breakdown of the performance of the entire Chicago Bears 2025 Draft Class, and it’s safe to say that this was general manager Ryan Poles’ best one yet.

1. I’ll admit, I’ve repeatedly cast side-eye at the Seattle Seahawks’ chances of winning it all because I simply couldn’t get behind trusting Sam Darnold, despite his come-up from his early days with the New York Jets.

Ian, it’s not too late. I understand why at first interviewing for the Atlanta Falcons job seemed appealing.

Velus Jones underperformed during his time with the Chicago Bears. He fumbled. He dropped passes. He generally made the offense go the wrong direction. I don’t think anybody was shocked to learn that in late October of 2024, the Bears had enough and cut Jones loose. Since his release, Jones has been signed by the […]

Everybody has been wanting to see it, so I decided to do it. The amount of jaw-dropping throws Caleb Williams has had this season has been remarkable. Every week, he seems to come up with an amazing throw that you think, “Well, that can’t be topped,” and then a week later, he does. These are […]
