The emphasis on defense in this draft for the Bears is so necessary it can be seen now three months away from that great spring day. Senior Bowl practices this week brought forth numerous reports of standout performances from players at need positions for the Bears, some even from players who were surprises.
First off, I feel the need to mention that the Pro Bowl has been a joke for a long time. I miss the days when fans could enjoy seeing Sean Taylor absolutely destroy Bills punter Brian Moorman on a fake punt.
The Chicago Bears made a handful of free agent signings last offseason that helped the franchise take a massive step in the right direction this year. With the team being able to step up this season, they saw some players take a massive step forward.
The Chicago Bears improved in just about every facet in the 2025 NFL season. This was particularly true on offense as first-year head coach Ben Johnson introduced new schemes that benefited stack Caleb Williams.
Life moves pretty fast in the NFL. One week, your offensive coordinator declines to interview with a team one year removed from a Super Bowl title, and the next, that coordinator is gone.
The best teams do not always win the Super Bowl. Sometimes, great NFL squads have failed to win a playoff game. Here are the best ones since the AFL-NFL merger to fall short of advancing in a postseason bracket.
The Chicago Bears are not in the best position when it comes to their 2026 salary cap. According to Over the Cap, Chicago currently is $17.6 million over the cap for next season.
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland showed his appreciation for teammate, veteran guard Joe Thuney. The Bears star center is up for the inaugural Protector of the Year Award.
One day after losing their assistant general manager to the Falcons, the Bears lost their offensive coordinator to the Ravens. Declan Doyle might have only been in Chicago for one season, but he made a strong impression.
The Bears will be forced to deal with more change on their offensive coaching staff than they would like. The hiring of Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle by the Baltimore Ravens for the same task but with play-calling duties will no doubt make for a challenge at Halas Hall.
The Chicago Bears were one of the most exciting teams in the NFL this season thanks much in part to their dynamic offense led by quarterback Caleb Williams, but defensively, it was another story for the Bears.
For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.
Nearly 24 hours after the Chicago Bearslost assistant general manager Ian Cunningham (the right-hand man of general manager Ryan Poles) to the Atlanta Falcons, the Bears are losing another rising member of the organization in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle (the right-hand man for head coach Ben Johnson).
Eric Bieniemy is gone. Al Harris could be leaving. And suddenly Declan Doyle is an even hotter commodity. But despite the swirling uncertainly within the Chicago Bears, a long-time team insider said this week he believes Ben Johnson's coaching staff will essentially remain intact for the 2026 season.
With 2026 NFL free agency looming around the corner, it's worth looking back at how GM Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears did with their 2025 free agency moves.
Fortunately for the Bears , assistant GM Ian Cunningham got his job in Atlanta and is out of Dodge. Otherwise, he might have eventually been in line for a job where he could do far more immediate damage to the Bears , as Vikings GM.
The Chicago Bears were one of the biggest surprises throughout the course of the 2025 NFL season. After entering the year as a team hopeful of being a playoff contender, the Bears were much more than that.
After a productive 2025 season, the Chicago Bears' backfield could be facing a crossroads this offseason. At least, that's what Pro Football Focus thinks.
The week of practice down at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama is in the books with the showcase game set to be played on Saturday and tons of prospects have already boosted their draft stock in a major way during the three days of practice.
The Chicago Bears’ 2025 season will be remembered for the offensive explosion led by Caleb Williams, but the defensive turnaround under head coach Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Eric Washington was just as crucial to the team’s NFC North title run.
