With Chicago Bears organized team activities (OTAs) underway and training camp right around the corner, it's time to start familiarizing yourself with the team's roster.
When the Chicago Bears selected Washington standout wide receiver Rome Odunze with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, everyone knew that they were getting a future star.

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....
The Chicago Bears could become the next great dynasty in the NFL. Of course, that's easier said than done and history isn't on their side. But with a young star quarterback in Caleb Williams and nearly a total overhaul of the offensive skill positions thanks to GM Ryan Poles, this team could channel greatness.
After a slow start in 2023, the Chicago Bears’ defense finished strong. The players are confident they can be dominant for the entire 2024 season. The Chicago Bears might be in a state of flux.

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...
After stepping onto the scene in a big way during the 2023 season, Chicago Bears' cornerback Jaylon Johnson made himself a household name among the top cornerbacks currently in the league, but the work is far from over.
The Chicago Bears did their due diligence in considering finding Braxton Jones’ replacement with the No. 9 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, the Bears chose to address their need at wide receiver to aid in rookie quarterback Caleb Williams’ progression.
Bears veteran S Kevin Byard reassured rookie QB Caleb Williams after an especially tough practice, telling him that these types of practices will help him get better as the season approaches.
Chicago Bears players are in agreement with many of their NFL peers about making a change to the way practices are conducted before training camp. The current system of OTAs could be going away soon if the NFLPA gets its way.
The Chicago Bears are set to begin the second week of organized team activities (OTAs) later today following the four day break over the holiday weekend.
The Chicago Bears made wholesale changes to the offense this offseason. One NFL expert made his choice for the best move made. While many expect it to be Caleb Williams that is not what he chose.

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...
The Chicago Bears are mostly known for their offense these days, which is not exactly a common theme in the Windy City. However, you can understand why heading into 2024.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...
