Mike Dinovo-USA TODAY Sports

Greg Gabriel is going position by position to see where the Bears stand this offseason, and next up is his look at the wide receivers.

For the last few years, the wide receiver position has been a weak point for the Chicago Bears. In 2023, the front office felt the position was in good hands with DJ Moore, Chase Claypool, Equanimeous St. Brown, Velus Jones, and Tyler Scott, but that turned out to be a false assumption as only Moore had a strong season....

2025 NFL Draft: Defensive linemen for Bears to keep early eye on

Detroit Free Press-USA TODAY Sports

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his early top defensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Heading into the 2024 season, arguably the Bears’ biggest need comes along their defensive line.

When you were the worst team in the NFL just two years ago, you’re not going to be able to fix every single need right away. That said, Chicago has come as close to doing so in that short amount of time as anyone over the last decade or so. Much lies on the...

Chicago Bears: NFL expert chooses best move made but it isn’t what you think

Will the fanbase endure or change forever?

Ryan Poles is jeopardizing the future of young Bears fans and I just don’t know if this fanbase will ever be the same.

A couple of weeks ago I came across a tweet that spoke to a little-known phenomenon. It simply stated, “nobody understands the bond between a boy and the mediocre WR he watched when he was nine.”

As someone who has written many articles about my favorite wide receiver Tom Waddle, who...

For our 21st Century Bears Draft, I focused on players who were in Chicago for extended time, those who racked up the awards, and a few personal favorites.

After the 2024 NFL Draft, several of us at Windy City Gridiron participated in a 21st-century all-Chicago Bears fantasy draft.

What does that mean? Well, eight of our staffers got together in a randomized snake draft to build out a roster in all three phases consisting only of Bears players from...

Bears OT Darnell Wright receives excellent reviews from NFL Draft experts grading 2023 first round picks

Adjusting to life in the NFL is a hard challenge for any rookie at any position to endure, but it's especially difficult for rookie offensive linemen. The talent gap between opposing defensive lineman at the college level and the professional level is probably the largest out of any position in the league.

Chicago Bears Stadium Funding Will Have To Wait, Illinois Legislature Says

Proposed Chicago Bears stadium on the lakefront. | ChicagoBears.com

There will be no action on a new Bears stadium at this time.

Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren made a push for the Illinois legislature to act on funding for a new Bears stadium this spring, saying that it could allow the team to open the new venue in time for the 2028 season.

Well, if fans (and Warren) were hoping for that, they received some bad news over the weekend. The Illinois legislature won’t act on anything...

Thanks, Atlanta

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Have we ever officially thanked the Atlanta Falcons for allowing Rome Odunze to fall to the Bears?

Does anyone else get warm and fuzzy feelings when thinking about the events that transpired for the Chicago Bears at the 2024 NFL Draft?

It’s still hard to believe that the outcome so many fans wanted actually happened.

Rome Odunze is a Bear.

Chicago Bears Matt Eberflus is a favorite for 2024 NFL Coach of the Year

Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

The Eberflus glow-up would be complete if he could lead his team to the postseason and win the 2024 Coach of the Year award.

In his first year coaching the Chicago Bears, Matt Eberflus’ squad was (3-14) while the franchise began a massive rebuild. Last year’s roster was better, and the Bears improved to (7-10), but there were some questions about Eberflus’ in-game decision-making following each of their three blown double-digit fourth-quarter...
