The Chicago Bears haven't told anybody what they're going to do over the next two months. That isn't surprising. No self-respecting team would announce its plans to the world because doing so would make it easier for other NFL teams to counteract it. GM Ryan Poles won't want anybody to know the...
One thing the Chicago Bears can always count on is that the NFC North division makes life tougher. They proved it again last year, showcasing the most stacked lineup of teams. Three ended up making the playoffs, headlined by the #1 seed Detroit Lions. That might explain why the Bears had no qualms...
Ryan Poles is like any other GM or scout. While he always keeps an open mind during a draft, he will have his short list of favorite prospects. These are guys he loves from watching them on tape and interviewing them leading up to the big day. More than anything, they each fit the picture of what a...
ESPN draft insider Matt Miller raised an interesting topic of discussion in a recent column. He asked various scouts and personnel men around the NFL what draft this incoming class most closely mirrors. Two came up the most: 2015 and 2016, the latter more often because it feels like a two-QB class...
The Chicago Bears aren't getting the bulk of the attention this year leading up to the NFL draft. That isn't a big surprise. For the first time since 2022, they won't hold the #1 pick in the draft. That honor goes to the Tennessee Titans. Combine this with the fact that they're not hunting for...
One thing to remember about free agency is it always features more than just a handful of big names. There are other players available who could be targets by your team who aren't being discussed. That is especially true for the Chicago Bears and GM Ryan Poles now that a new coaching staff is in...
A common misconception about the draft process is that only the scouts and the GM ultimately dictate who a team selects. That might be true for some teams, but in reality, the coaching staff plays a central role in evaluations as well. It wouldn't be smart of the Chicago Bears to bring in...
Keenan Allen is likely gone this off-season. While keeping the former Pro Bowler would be nice after the connection he formed with Caleb Williams, the truth is he'll likely want too much money. The Chicago Bears aren't in a position to throw big cash at depreciating assets. He will likely hit the...
Ben Johnson made it clear he loved a lot of the roster that GM Ryan Poles had already built. He didn't call the Chicago Bears a sleeping giant for no reason. However, like any new head coach, he undoubtedly has his own vision for certain players he'd like to have (or not have) on the roster moving...
For the second off-season in a row, Ian Cunningham came painfully close to landing his own GM position with another team. It hasn't happened yet. The Chicago Bears aren't complaining. That means they get their assistant GM for another off-season. His eye for talent and excellent ability to keep...
When he took the head coaching job with the Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson wanted alignment with the general manager. The easiest way to summarize that was ensuring the two men were on the same page from a vision standpoint. Ryan Poles showed over the past three years that he was willing to accommodate...
The Chicago Bears haven't won a Super Bowl since 1985 and haven't been to one since 2006. This organization is not one anybody should think has a reasonable chance of making a run, if only because history speaks for itself. That is why the latest odds released by ESPN didn't register much in the...
