GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson sent a message this past week that there is no more fooling around. The Chicago Bears are fully committed to building the roster to help Caleb Williams. That meant investing heavily in the offensive line. It started with the trade for Jonah Jackson from Los...
Ryan Poles was never going to tell us outright what he has planned for the NFL draft. He probably doesn't yet know the exact details, but the Chicago Bears GM no doubt at least had an inkling of his true goal for that 10th pick for months. At last the vision is coming into focus somewhat after...
The Chicago Bears are focused on the start of free agency next week. After handling whatever business they have planned, the fun truly begins with the NFL draft looming in April. Holding the 10th overall pick means they have a reasonable shot of getting a good player. What they don't know is who...
Over the past couple of weeks, there was growing buzz that things weren't great between star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson and the Cincinnati Bengals. He is seeking a lucrative contract extension after a stellar season with 17.5 sacks. Unfortunately, the Bengals are too busy trying to lock up star...
The Chicago Bears have focused on the offensive side of the ball to start the off-season, which shouldn't surprise anybody. Ben Johnson took over as head coach with the express purpose of fixing the offense. To do that, he needs players. The trades for Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney reflect this....
The Chicago Bears know any hopes of reaching the playoffs start with conquering the NFC North. That is something they failed to do in 2024, going 1-5 against the division. All three of their rivals ended up making the playoffs, and all three ended up winning at least 13 games. One of them was the...
GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson accomplished the first critical goal of this off-season by shoring up the interior offensive line. It started with the trade for Jonah Jackson from Los Angeles and culminated with another trade for Joe Thuney from Kansas City. Just like that, the guard...
It became obvious the Chicago Bears would be revamping the tight end position after they released veteran Gerald Everett last month. Head coach Ben Johnson knows the position well. He coached it at Boston College with the Miami Dolphins and the Detroit Lions. One can safely assume he has particular...
GM Ryan Poles and his front office run several mock drafts every year. They do this to get a gauge of what the likeliest outcomes are in the 1st round, allowing them to prepare for every possible scenario. This is how they were able to project Rome Odunze would likely be available to them at #9...
Ben Johnson said the intention was to win this year. GM Ryan Poles said he would work in tandem with Johnson on the approach this offseason. It appears the Chicago Bears brass have stuck to their statements. Before the new league year has even begun, the team has engineered two trades. One was for...
The Chicago Bears have jumped ahead of everybody in starting the 2025 off-season. In the span of just over 24 hours, they made two calculated trades. One was for guard Jonah Jackson from the Rams, and the other was for guard Joe Thuney from Kansas City. Just like that, their interior offensive line...
One thing to always remember about Ryan Poles is he's not a GM who is stuck in traditional ways of thinking. He isn't afraid to be aggressive (up to a point) to plug roster holes. That includes the trade market. The Chicago Bears already sent a 6th round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for veteran...
