The NFL draft is the ultimate showcase of what-ifs in pro football history. The moves teams make can sometimes decide the franchise's direction for years to come. Even the smallest decision can have gigantic implications. However, sometimes, it's the moves you don't make that can end up having the...
GM Ryan Poles went into the 2024 off-season with a clear goal in mind. He was finding a new quarterback. After trading Justin Fields to Pittsburgh, the focus shifted to the incoming draft class. After extensive research on all the top prospects, the Chicago Bears scouting department agreed that...
The Chicago Bears were already in a great situation at wide receiver when they traded for Keenan Allen. He and D.J. Moore should become an outstanding duo for new quarterback Caleb Williams. However, GM Ryan Poles wanted more. He felt there was an opportunity to give his young quarterback a bevy of...
Caleb Williams is a goal-oriented young man. From age 10, he knew he wanted to play in the NFL. So, he and his father crafted a detailed plan on how he would achieve it. That plan led to enormous success in high school, scholarships to Oklahoma and USC, a Heisman trophy, and the #1 overall pick in...
In his three years as GM, Ryan Poles has engineered some blockbuster trades. It started with sending Khalil Mack to the Chargers and Roquan Smith to the Ravens. He acquired Chase Claypool from the Steelers and, of course, sent the #1 pick to Carolina for D.J. Moore and several draft picks. Yet the...
Multiple reasons went into the Chicago Bears' decision to trade Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. For one, GM Ryan Poles felt the team had an opportunity to upgrade at the position with the #1 overall pick. There was Fields' growing track record of getting injured due to his play style. It...
Developing a quarterback is not easy. Everybody has theories on how it should be done. Probably the most popular lately is the long-standing belief you should sit a quarterback for at least a year, preferably behind a veteran, so they can learn how to operate as a professional. Patrick Mahomes and...
For all the talk about upgrading at quarterback, wide receiver, and pass rusher over the past few months, it's been easy to overlook how committed the Chicago Bears have been to improving their special teams. It started with punter Tory Taylor in the 4th round of the draft. He's already shown...
Darnell Mooney played four seasons for the Chicago Bears and was a good player. Unfortunately, his last two years never seemed to go right. He never clicked in former offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's system and lacked chemistry with Justin Fields. It was felt both sides needed a fresh start. The...
He may never admit it, but Shane Waldron likely took the job as Chicago Bears offensive coordinator because he knew it would give him the opportunity to work with Caleb Williams. That is honestly the only reason that makes sense. Lots of other teams were interested in hiring him. To take the Bears...
One doesn't become as good as Rome Odunze was in college on talent alone. One of the biggest reasons the Chicago Bears were drawn to him was his unrelenting work ethic. His hamstring strain that sidelined him for rookie minicamps came from practicing too hard. It is how Odunze is wired. He aims to...
The Chicago Bears believe they have around 72% of the necessary funding to finance a new stadium on the lakefront. Team president Kevin Warren and his people hope to get the remaining 28% from a collaborative effort with the state of Illinois. However, Governor J.B. Pritzker and the sitting state...
