The Chicago Bears are willing to commit $2 billion to a stadium project near Wolf Lake in Northwest Indiana after failing to gain traction with new construction projects in Illinois.
The Chicago Bears announced they have promoted director of player personnel Jeff King to be their new assistant general manager, per Ian Rapoport. He fills the role vacated by Ian Cunningham, who was hired as the Falcons’ new GM. King interviewed for the Chargers’ general manager job in 2024 before they landed on Joe Hortiz.
We’ve all heard franchise relocation rumors before. They usually amount to about as much as a screen door on a submarine, but this is different. The Chicago Bears, an NFL franchise with roots in Illinois deeper than a deep dish, are packing up and heading to Indiana.
The Chicago Bears made the playoffs this season for the first time since 2020. They have a star quarterback, a proven coach, and Super Bowl aspirations for the immediate future.
As expected, the Chicago Bears stadium updates are nearing the finish line with the final decision expected to be announced in the coming days on where the new stadium will be located for the future of the organization.
As NFL rules have changed, defensive backs' job descriptions have transitioned. Here is our best attempt at identifying the premier DB performer in each NFL franchise's history.

If you're one of the millions of Chicago Bears fans who are hoping that the team remains in Illinois, Thursday morning's news from the Illinois state legislature will come like a gut punch.
Caleb Williams is one of the league's hottest MVP candidates for the 2026 NFL season. ESPN's Dan Graziano and Harry Douglas both predicted that he would win the award.
While visiting the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens proved that his instincts extend off the field. He made another big play—this time stopping a would-be thief.
Another day of wild, unfounded speculation about Maxx Crosby coming to the Bears for no reason other than a podcast he did with Caleb Williams had a realistic and expected disappointing conclusion for the fans who had been frothing at the mouth over about 48 hours.
First off, Maxx Crosby is an undeniably elite player. He's one of the league's premier pass-rushers and is on a Hall of Fame trajectory. It should require a haul to land him via a trade.
The Chicago Bears‘ offense became a running back by committee approach the longer last season went on, in head coach Ben Johnson’s first at the helm. Veteran D’Andre Swift and emergent seventh-round rookie running back D’Andre Swift combined to power Chicago’s ground game to finish third in the league, while averaging 144.5 rushing yards per game.
The Chicago Bears‘ offseason might be about addition by subtraction this year, rather than the marquee signings and trades that defined GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson’s first offseason together last spring.
The Chicago Bears are expected to go shopping at the top of the market for pass rush help, aiming to significantly upgrade a critical position of need on coordinator Dennis Allen’s defense.
Caleb Williams led the Chicago Bears to the NFC Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs last season, succumbing only to Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams in overtime. An 11-6 regular season record preceded that postseason run, as Williams threw for 3,942 yards and 27 passing touchdowns, with a completion rate of 57.8%.
When ESPN recently identified Kiran Amegadjie as a player who could benefit from a fresh start, it wasn't exactly shocking. In fact, it lines up with where the former third-round pick is at this point in his career.
Crosby has been the subject of renewed trade rumors ever since it was revealed that he was "not happy" about being shut down before the end of the 2025 season because of a lingering knee injury.
Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears are adding a former wide receiver to their staff for the 2026 season. After leading the Bears to an 11-6 record and appearance in the divisional round, Johnson lost running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Williams was responsible for seven comeback wins after trailing in the fourth quarter of games from Week 1 of this past campaign through Chicago's wild-card playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers.
Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, but it may not be enough to save his job. Following a disappointing first campaign with the Bears, the former second-round pick thrived under first-year head coach Ben Johnson.
As soon as head coach Ben Johnson arrived to the Chicago Bears, the first order of business was upgrading the offensive line to further protect quarterback Caleb Williams.
The Chicago Bears have an obvious need at the safety position, with literally zero players under contract at the position going into the 2026 season. The front office needs to restock that room and likely will bring in at least three players to do so between free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Bears have quietly become a very expensive football team. At the moment, the team is projected to be above the 2026 salary cap by $5.3MM, per OverTheCap, with 13 players currently scheduled for a cap hit over $10MM.
For the last two seasons, D’Andre Swift has operated as the Bears’ top running back. If the veteran has his way, that will continue in 2026. One year remains on Swift’s contract.
