A Chicago Bears community
Earlier this week, we asked you guys this question: Do you expect the Chicago Bears to make a big offseason splash? And after the poll closed, the Bears swung a big trade for DJ Moore. Would you consider the trade big, or is your idea of “big” a Maxx Crosby trade? To me, the Moore […]
For the Chicago Bears and their fans, the offseason–as of late–has been the most exciting part of their season. That all changed in 2025 after they reeled off an 11-6 regular season record en route to their first playoff victory in 15 years. As fate would have it, as soon as the Bears become a […]
The Bears have some decisions to make in free agency on current key players. Today, we saw DJ Moore get traded to the Buffalo Bills. What happens to the rest of the key players? Here are some predictions. Tyson Bagent: Stays. Whether it’s because they didn’t get a good enough offer or they never really […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS For the Bears, DJ Moore’s role no longer fit his pay The trade frees up $38.9 million in cash and cap space. Tyler Biadasz on a visit with the Chargers Which way will the cookie crumble? Bears release LB Tremaine Edmunds They tried the trade route, but nobody was fooled. […]
After granting linebacker Tremaine Edmunds permission to seek a trade last week, it’s now being reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Chicago Bears are releasing him. Finding a suitor for Edmunds proved too difficult as he was in the final year of his contract with a relatively small dead cap hit ($2.4M). Moving on […]
The Chicago Bears just flipped DJ Moore for a 2nd rounder — and suddenly they’re sitting on three picks in the top 60. Join Ari Temkin and Jacob Infante as they break down what that means for the draft board, what Daniel Jeremiah’s “sweet spot at 50–75” theory means for Chicago’s draft strategy, and whether […]
The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped! DJ Moore and a 5th round pick traded to the Buffalo Bills for a 2nd round pick. We talk about it on the latest Bears Banter Podcast. What a job by Ryan Poles to land a 2nd round pick for Moore. Sure the 5 had to go back […]
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Well, that was a punch in the gut, wasn’t it? We were all shocked as news leaked on Tuesday that Drew Dallman, the Bears’ 27-year-old center, was retiring from the NFL. Dalman, who signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Bears last offseason after four years in Atlanta, was a […]
We’re just four days away from the 2026 legal tampering early negotiation period of free agency, and the rumors and reports have been flying all week. Earlier today, I asked our WCG crew for the one free agent they want the Bears to sign, so here’s the flip side of that topic. Who is the […]
After weeks of speculation and talk, wide receiver DJ Moore will be traded to the Buffalo Bills when the new league year starts next week. Compensation is yet to be finalized, according to Adam Schefter, who was the first to report the deal. ***UPDATE: Schefter reports the Bears are sending Buffalo a fifth-round pick and […]
For months now, Chicago Bears fans have felt two things about the trenches: the defensive line is the team’s weakness, and the offensive line woes have finally been put to rest. Then Ozzy Trapilo, the emerging LT, went down in the playoffs. Then Drew Dalman, 27-year-old Pro Bowl Center, retires. A five-man unit that looked […]
One week from today, we should know if the Chicago Bears made a splash in free agency or not. The early negotiation period begins on Monday, and free agency officially opens for business on Wednesday, March 11. I asked our crew here at Windy City Gridiron for their 1 free agent they want the Bears […]
What better time to cook up your first mock draft of the year than right after the NFL Combine, right? Things are already getting interesting for the Chicago Bears after Drew Dalman unexpectedly retired, and Maxx Crosby trade rumors are beginning to heat up. Oh yeah, and that whole free agency thing kicks off next […]
CALLING ALL WCG MEMBERS: LET’S HEAR YOUR BEST MEATBALL TAKES IN THE COMMENTS! What is a “meatball fan” and a “meatball take?” I think (hope) that everybody here knows what a meatball take is when they are spewing one. I do when I’m spilling the beans. I could have written a long dissertation to explain […]
I missed this report yesterday from ESPN’s David Kaplan — h/t to Luis C. Medina from Bleacher Nation Bears — regarding Chicago Bears safety Kevin Byard III, and the odds on him returning to Chicago. “I was told by somebody who would know, that he is 70-30 that he is going to be a Bear,” […]
When news came of Drew Dalman’s unexpected retirement, my first reaction was not appropriate for a general audience. However, as Chicago Bears fans grapple with the idea that the team needs to look for two starters on the offensive line instead of just one, here are a few of the prospects who might merit a […]
There was plenty of buzz around the Chicago Bears after last season’s NFC North title and playoff win, and that buzz hasn’t cooled down a bit this offseason. With the NFL Combine and draft, the trade rumors, free agency, the stadium saga, and the retirement of Drew Dalman, it seems like a new Bears nugget […]
Welp, back to the drawing board… Drew Dalman sent shockwaves across the NFL landscape with his sudden retirement on Tuesday. Only 27 years old and coming off a Pro Bowl season, his decision to walk away particularly has a major impact on the Chicago Bears’ offseason strategy. Not all hope is lost for Chicago, even […]
Chicago’s second pick in the 2023 draft is a bit of a Rorschach test for Bears fans. Is Gervon Dexter a good player or a barely adequate one? The eye test tells a conflicting story. He seldom commands double teams. He produces but not reliably. In 2025 he was 50th of all players in sacks, […]

Last week, we shared with you an exercise that Silver and Black Pride, SB Nation’s Las Vegas Raiders site, was doing regarding Maxx Crosby. They asked for websites from the other NFL teams to submit offers for Crosby, and they would pick the best one. If you would like to see all the offers that […]
On Tuesday afternoon, Adam Schefter broke the news that Chicago Bears’ Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman informed the team that he was retiring before the 2026 season after only a single year in Chicago, despite having two years remaining on his contract. After years of struggling to build a complete offensive line, 2025 finally saw […]
The full slate of host teams for the NFL’s International Series has been announced, and the Chicago Bears will not give up a home game this season. However, that doesn’t mean the Bears won’t be picked as the designated road team in one of these games. The Bears are scheduled to travel to play two […]
