Ben Johnson outlines five Bears priorities at NFL owners meetings

Bears coach Ben Johnson shared five key takeaways from the NFL owners meetings: he wants to get explosive rookie Luther Burden III more touches this season; Garrett Bradbury will fit in at center as the replacement for Drew Dalman; Coby Bryant could be a tone-setter on defense; Braxton Jones has bulked up and aims to regain his pre-injury form; and Kalif Raymond was added to boost the receiver/return game and leadership in the locker room.

Caleb Williams's Iceman Trademark Stirs Clash With George Gervin

Caleb Williams and his branding team filed four trademark applications to use the nickname 'Iceman' for the Chicago Bears QB, but NBA Hall of Famer George Gervin—the original 'Iceman'—says the name is taken and his camp moved to register 'Iceman 44' soon after, framing the move as branding over legacy and prompting debate over borrowing a legend’s identity for merchandise.

Bears Return to Depth-First Pre-Draft Strategy

Bears Return to Depth-First Pre-Draft Strategy

The Chicago Bears appear to be reverting to a depth-focused pre-draft plan, prioritizing late-round prospects and undrafted free agents after shifting away from top-round targets in recent years. So far five players—Mikail Kamara, Seth McGowan, Jager Burton, De’Zhaun Stribling, and Jimmy Rolder—have visited Chicago for meetings, all projected for Day 3 or UDFA status. With only three Day 3 picks due to trades and a need to rebuild depth after significant offseason departures, the Bears may wheel and deal to acquire more picks or lean on the undrafted market to land 3–4 contributors, mirroring a strategy that previously yielded players like Braxton Jones, Elijah Hicks, and Jack Sanborn.

Crosby Pursuit Winds Down as Bears Probe, Cowboys Leave Door Open

After a failed trade to the Ravens, Crosby’s market cooled as the Bears acknowledged exploratory talks and the Cowboys signaled they wouldn’t rule out revisiting the possibility; Chicago had recently signed Odeyingbo and Dallas added other pass-rush pieces, while Crosby’s knee status and the Raiders’ price tag post-trade chatter have kept the market uncertain heading into the draft.

Arlington Heights Mayor: Bears Could Move to Indiana by Month's End

Arlington Heights Mayor Jim Tinaglia says the Chicago Bears could relocate their stadium to Indiana by the end of March if Illinois lawmakers don’t finalize a deal on incentives; Indiana has already passed a stadium bill, while Illinois debates tax breaks, with a potential Arlington Heights groundbreaking this summer if Springfield agrees.

Crosby Trade Drama: Two First-Round Picks Sought, Ravens Flip Him to Bears

Crosby Trade Drama: Two First-Round Picks Sought, Ravens Flip Him to Bears

The Raiders reportedly demanded two first‑round picks for All‑Pro edge Maxx Crosby. While the Cowboys offered a first and second, Rich Eisen said another team also pursued two first‑rounders—Chicago, with New England also in play. The Ravens, Eisen said, traded Crosby to Las Vegas for two first‑rounders and then flipped him in‑conference to the Chicago Bears, making the deal seem more favorable than Bears’ set of two picks. Patriots’ interest was mentioned but tied to Tom Brady. Raiders backers, via JT the Brick, insist the team is retooling rather than rebuilding.

Bears Weigh Anzalone as Edmunds Replacement, Tapping Saints Ties

The Chicago Bears are eyeing Detroit linebacker Alex Anzalone as a potential replacement for Tremaine Edmunds, citing his familiarity with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen from New Orleans and his fit in Chicago’s 4-3 scheme. Anzalone offers solid coverage and downhill tackling at a lower cost than Edmunds, especially after the Bears released Edmunds to free about $15 million in cap space.

Bradbury Traded to Bears for 2027 Fifth-Round Pick

The New England Patriots traded center Garrett Bradbury to the Chicago Bears for a 2027 fifth‑round pick, with Bradbury having started all 17 regular-season games and all four postseason games for NE last season, but the Pats choosing cap relief this year. Chicago needed a center after Drew Dalman’s retirement, and Jared Wilson could become New England’s starting center in 2026 after starting 13 games at guard as a rookie. The trade becomes official at the start of the league year.

Bears' DJ Moore trade chatter heats up as offseason advances

The Chicago Bears’ DJ Moore trade talk remains hot as the NFL offseason unfolds. Insider reports suggest a deal could be likely, with salary-cap considerations affecting how much of Moore’s contract the Bears would eat and what compensation they'd receive (potentially a day-two pick).
