The Chicago Bears have been the subject of dozens upon dozens of mock draft proposals and trade theories since it was confirmed that they’d have the first-overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. And, although the wildest of the ideas seemed to fizzle away after the trade of quarterback Justin Fields and the all-but-confirmation that they’d be selecting USC blue-chip quarterback potential franchise-altering prospect Caleb Williams, there are still some wild rumblings from the outer edges of the NFL media landscape. So, how about we explore the lunatic fringe and talk about a wild-eyed draft-related trade proposal that, actually, might…

The Chicago Bears have more reason for positivity than negativity when it comes to this month’s NFL draft. On the happy side of things, the team will have the overall no. 1 pick in the draft and, as a result, first dibs on USC blue-chip quarterback prospect and buzzed-about potential franchise-altering presence, Caleb Williams. Chicago will also have a second first-round pick inside the top ten, at ninth overall. It’s exceedingly rare to have such an opportunity to select two big-time impact players in the same draft. On the frowny side of things, though, the Bears will only have four…

The Chicago Bears are said to be on the precipice of a franchise-altering moment in their long and storied history. They’re now days away from drafting USC blue-chip quarterback prospect and consensus Mr. Everything, Caleb Williams with the very first selection of this upcoming NFL draft. When the Bears front office took the calculated gamble of trading away their overall no. 1 pick in last year’s draft to the Carolina Panthers for wide receiver DJ Moore and a haul of draft capital, they had no idea that one of the prizes returned to them would be this year’s overall no.…

The Chicago Bears have two first-round picks in the upcoming NFL draft. It’s pretty safe to say that they won’t be touching their first one– the overall no. 1 with which they’ll probably be selecting super well-regarded, super-hyped USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams. But that second pick, at no. 9? That one is practically screaming “trade me.” That’s especially the case for a Bears front office with only four picks in this draft and, presumably, a strong desire to add draft capital. Chicago Bears May Be in the Market for Draft Capital So, it’s not all that improbable that…

The Chicago Bears will probably be selecting USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Picking the potential franchise-altering generational talent is pretty much a guarantee at this point. Up for debate, however, is what the Bears should do with their other first-round pick in the no. 9 spot. Some feel that another wide receiver should be targeted as an additional weapon for the incoming Williams. Names abound as to who that should be. Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze are most tied to a Chicago wide receiver draft…

The Chicago Bears will be using this upcoming NFL draft to make themselves a better team. Duh. Obviously. That’s EVERY team’s goal in the draft. However, a secondary goal for teams is to find ways to block divisional rivals from becoming better teams. That second part of the draft day objective could be in play when it comes to the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings this year. The Vikings are one of several teams said to be hungry for quarterback talent after losing Kirk Cousins to the Atlanta Falcons via free agency this offseason. However, at no. 11 in…

The Chicago Bears look to be on the road to a new era in franchise history. The front office is hoping that franchise road will be paved by a new franchise quarterback. With the first-overall pick in this year’s upcoming draft, the Bears look all set to be drafting USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams, who many have already compared to greats such as Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. But the road to nabbing a potential generational, franchise-altering talent at quarterback hasn’t always been a straight, easy one. Chicago Bears, Paving The Way for Greatness? Chicago set up this path…

The Chicago Bears are expected to draft USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft. If that happens, the team will be left with just three remaining draft picks this year, thanks to prior deals– their other first-round pick (no. 9), a third-round pick (no. 75), and a fourth-round pick (no. 122). That’s not a whole lot around which to build a stronger young nucleus for the 22-year-old Williams. Many experts believe that Bears general manager Ryan Poles sees that lack of draft capital as well and may likely make some…

The Chicago Bears are about to reap the benefits of what could very well go down as the greatest trade in team history;  one which many experts are saying might be “franchise-altering” because of who’s available to be acquired in this upcoming draft. Last year, the Chicago Bears traded away their first-overall pick to the Carolina Panthers for a package of talent that included wide receiver DJ Moore, the Panthers’ 2023 first- and second-round picks, a 2024 first-round pick, and a 2025 second-round pick. That deal lines them up to select USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams this year. And,…

The Chicago Bears haven’t been world champs since their glorious 1985 Super Bowl Shuffle season. WWE superstar Seth Rollins, however, knows what it’s like to wear that “best of the best” title right now as reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion. OK, pro wrestling and pro football aren’t exactly the same things, contested to the same degree. But, still, the long-time avid Bears fan, Rollins, clearly knows his stuff when it comes to the gridiron. Chicago Bears Championed by WWE Champ In an interview on Good Morning Football, Seth “Freakin’” Rollins talked about his team and the upcoming 2024 NFL draft.…
