The debate between Caleb Williams and Justin Fields was fervent for months leading up to the 2024 draft. Many fans urged the Chicago Bears to forgo taking a quarterback #1 overall, trade down, and accept another haul of draft picks, while keeping building around Fields. Instead, GM Ryan Poles opted...

Theo Benedet was a forgotten backup when training camp started in late July. Two months later, he has replaced Braxton Jones as the team's starting left tackle going into the big rematch against the Washington Commanders. Nobody saw it coming. While the idea that Jones might not survive as the...

The trade deadline is three weeks away. Moves are already happening. Teams that view this season as a wash have begun unloading players they don't see as part of their future. Many have pushed the Chicago Bears to take advantage of this opportunity, looking to add a quality veteran to shore up a...

The Chicago Bears haven't been active on the trade market for months. All of their moves took place before or during the NFL draft. Since then, they've gone silent. It appears GM Ryan Poles is content to let head coach Ben Johnson and his staff get the most from the current roster. However, history...

Olin Kreutz has been among those who haven't stressed much about the Chicago Bears' left tackle situation. In his mind, you get what you pay for. If your lowest-paid player is your left tackle, you should expect the performance to be less than ideal. The bigger issue is whether the highly touted...

Ryan Poles knew what needed to happen when he took over the Chicago Bears in 2022. The roster was old, expensive, and nowhere close to competing for a championship. If the new GM wanted to change that, he'd have to bite the bullet. That meant unloading everything that wasn't nailed down and...

The Chicago Bears have a few moves they could look to make before the trade deadline, and one of the most obvious positions to address is running back. There are several potential options, but most would have to be initiated by GM Ryan Poles—unless he decides to wait until closer to the deadline,...
DaveFinding success in the NFL isn't just about hitting your high draft picks. That is obviously important, but the league is comprised of many players who come from more humble backgrounds. You'll often find the best teams routinely find quality players on the undrafted market. The Chicago Bears were...

The Chicago Bears felt they were getting a potential star when they drafted Rome Odunze 9th overall last year. While the 2024 season wasn't a full breakout by any means, the rookie still had some major flash moments. It was felt that with more work and a better offensive system, the wide receiver...

Fans can often have a knee-jerk reaction to draft picks when they don't contribute immediately on the field these days. In years past, young players often took two or three years to fully mature in the pro game. Yet the immediate success of some prominent names have raised the bar to unreasonable...

Looking at the Chicago Bears' pass rush, it's easy to understand why many fans are sore that the team didn't push harder to get Micah Parsons. He could've given this group the jolt it needed to become formidable. Instead, they have to watch him rev up the Green Bay Packers' front every week....
