February 08, 2024 08:05 - 31 minutesNew Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron did not get a ringing endorsement from his former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, when asked in an interview with CHGO. Hear why JSN may have some valid criticisms, but it's no reason for Bears fans to panic about what Waldron is bringing to Chicago.

Don't expect Chicago Bears to spend big in free agency this offseason (besides Jaylon Johnson)
February 07, 2024 08:07 - 32 minutesThe Chicago Bears have a healthy amount of salary cap this offseason, but that doesn't mean Ryan Poles will go out and sign a big-name free agent. Once the Jaylon Johnson situation resolves, the Bears will still have plenty of needs to address and only a limited amount of money to fill out the roster before the NFL Draft.

How soon could Chicago Bears trade Justin Fields, if Ryan Poles decides on Caleb Williams?
February 06, 2024 08:05 - 32 minutesNFL teams fully expect the Chicago Bears to draft Caleb Williams, which means a Justin Fields trade is coming. It could be advantageous for Ryan Poles to get a deal done before teams start signing quarterbacks in free agency, or it could be better to wait and see which teams get desperate for a QB if they miss out in the NFL Draft.

What would it take for Chicago Bears to trade down from No. 1 overall pick in NFL Draft?
February 05, 2024 08:05 - 30 minutesReports say teams like the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders are willing to give up a massive haul to get Caleb Williams, and the Chicago Bears will at least listen to their offers. First, Ryan Poles would have to be willing to pass on Williams, and then the compensation conversation starts. Chicago is in a great position either way.

Will Chicago Bears regret not pursuing Jim Harbaugh and keeping Matt Eberflus as head coach?
January 25, 2024 08:05 - 31 minutesMany Chicago Bears fans wanted the team to go after Jim Harbaugh this offseason. Now, he's the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Whether it's fair or not, we'll look back at this moment and wonder what would have been different if the Bears fired Matt Eberflus and went after their former quarterback.

Jaylon Johnson wants to be NFL’s highest-paid CB | Franchise tag is most likely for Chicago Bears
January 18, 2024 08:04 - 31 minutesDuring the season, Jaylon Johnson said he wasn't asking for a record-setting contract. After a strong finish to the year, now he wants to be the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. That's a recipe for Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears to use the franchise tag as they try to negotiate a deal. And if it all falls apart again, we can't rule out the possibility of a trade sometime down the line.

Caleb Williams or Justin Fields? How much of an upgrade could Chicago Bears get at QB in NFL Draft
January 17, 2024 08:05 - 33 minutesRyan Poles is trying to decide whether Caleb Williams (or another rookie QB) is an upgrade over Justin Fields, but the decision is more complicated than just a head-to-head comparison of the two quarterbacks. The Chicago Bears have to evaluate the whole picture when it comes to trade value, age, and contracts, beyond just the on-field scouting report.

2024 Chicago Bears offseason will make or break Ryan Poles' legacy as general manager
January 10, 2024 08:05 - 30 minutesWhat Ryan Poles decides to do this offseason at head coach, quarterback and the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft will shape how he is remembered as Chicago Bears general manager. If he keeps Matt Eberflus and passes on head coaches like Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel or others, Bears fans will always wonder "What If?". Whether he keeps or trades Justin Fields or the No. 1 pick, we will always second guess his choice if he gets it wrong. And if he gets the coach and the quarterback right, he will foreve...
Kevin Warren, Ryan Poles need to send message that mediocre isn’t good enough for Chicago Bears
January 09, 2024 08:04 - 34 minutesThe Chicago Bears will hold their end of the season press conference this week. Team president Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles need to make it clear that the job Matt Eberflus has done as head coach has not been good enough. Both Warren and Poles have talked repeatedly about working toward a championship, and it's hard to make the case that Eberflus and his staff are the right coaches to get the Bears to the Super Bowl.

Matt Eberflus, Luke Getsy show why they should be fired in Chicago Bears loss to Green Bay Packers
January 08, 2024 08:04 - 31 minutesThe Chicago Bears' Week 18 loss was the clearest example yet of why Ryan Poles should fire head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. The defense was much worse than the 17-9 final score suggests, and Justin Fields and the offense couldn't even score a touchdown against a struggling Packers defense. It was bad all around.

Chicago Bears offensive coordinator choice is more important than quarterback decision on Justin Fields
January 05, 2024 08:04 - 32 minutesWhether the Chicago Bears stick with Justin Fields or draft a rookie like Caleb Williams, the team needs to have the right offensive coordinator in place to put the quarterback in the best position to be successful. Luke Getsy hasn't been good enough as a play-designer or play-caller this season, and Matt Eberflus needs to find a better option to develop his quarterback.

December 13, 2023 08:05 - 32 minutesThe Chicago Bears needed to see Justin Fields play better this season, and he's starting to do just that. The challenge is, Fields doesn't just have to prove that he's an NFL starter. He has to prove that he's better than the QBs Ryan Poles could take with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
