Chicago Bears fans who've followed the team for the past decade will know the name Eric Kendricks. From 2015 to 2022, the All-Pro linebacker was a massive thorn in their side as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. While physically gifted in many ways, Kendricks was best known for his outstanding...
People knew Caleb Williams needed help after a difficult 2024 season. The first step was finding a head coach who could build a cohesive scheme around the young quarterback. Ben Johnson was at the top of most lists. It made sense. He guided Detroit to three of the best offensive seasons in...
The Chicago Bears made their commitments clear this offseason. GM Ryan Poles wanted to give quarterback Caleb Williams the best possible chance to ascend this year. That is why he hired Ben Johnson as head coach and why almost every major resource was devoted to improving the offense. They signed...
When you have a new coaching staff coming in, the smart thing to do is make room for the strong possibility that significant roster changes are around the corner. Players that the previous staff might've considered untouchable no longer enjoy that under the new one. So far, the Chicago Bears under...
The Chicago Bears have 24 hours left to reduce their roster from 90 to 53. Things began yesterday with five cuts and Terell Smith going on Injured Reserve. Expect the pace to quicken as the deadline nears. However, there could be another avenue to help the process along. Teams often unload players...
Taking the Chicago Bears job was not something people around the NFL expected from Ben Johnson. He was the most highly touted coaching candidate of the past two cycles. Usually, high-profile franchises with either stupidly rich or young owners lure guys like him in. Chicago is run by an old-school...
The Chicago Bears have concerns at the running back position. D'Andre Swift remains the unquestioned starter going into the regular season. However, the situation behind him is precarious at best. Roschon Johnson has been out for weeks with a foot injury. Travis Homer has missed time with a calf...
Something to remember about Ben Johnson is that he's a nerd. Not your new-age one who likes anime or video games. He is the classic version who is driven by numbers. Before getting into coaching, he seemed destined for a high-profile career in science and mathematics. So it is only natural that he...
The Chicago Bears are not a complete team. Anybody with common sense knows this. They have flaws. The goal is to work around them as best they can. GM Ryan Poles usually does a good job of scouring the waiver wire and trade market this time of year, looking for quality depth. While not big moves...
The Chicago Bears are never idle this time of year. GM Ryan Poles has developed a reputation for always working the phones, looking for solutions at positions that might need help. He boosted the defensive line last year with two trades for Chris Williams and Darrell Taylor. It is reasonable to...
The Chicago Bears have begun whittling down their roster of 90 players to 53. Head coach Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles have until August 26th to get things in order. Given what we know about this front office over the past few years, it is safe to assume they might have an additional move or two in...
Getting the head coach right has been the Achilles heel of almost every Chicago Bears general manager since the position came to be in the 1970s. Jim Finks whiffed twice before George Halas went over his head to hire Mike Ditka. Rod Graves helped land Dave Wannstedt. Mark Hafley settled on Dick...
