The Chicago Bears find a treasure trove laid at their feet with this year’s overall no. 1 pick in the NFL draft. The decision, though, is in how they want to collect on those riches. If the team keeps its pick, they’ll have first dibs on grabbing USC’s blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams, who many see as a potential generational talent. If they decide to trade away their top pick, they could collect a bounty of talent– both via draft picks and current high-end players– from any number of teams hungry and desperate to step in and grab Williams…

The Green Bay Packers are smack dab in the middle of a youth movement and that likely means “out with the old” when it comes to roster spots. Actually, a better way to look it would be “out with SOME of the old,” free up roster spots and free some cap money to acquire perfect-fit free agents. New starting quarterback Jordan Love rose to the occasion last season, performing increasingly well as the campaign wore on, showing that he could, indeed, be a fitting replacement for the outgoing future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. Part of that success was due…

The Green Bay Packers turned a lot of heads at the end of this past season, going 6-2 down the stretch, making the playoffs, and destroying the favored Dallas Cowboys before being eliminated in the next round by the Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers. Despite the team being young– the youngest to win a playoff game since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger– the crew performed well and played with increased confidence as the season wore on. Quarterback Jordan Love, who drew some question marks from fans and media prior to the season, played like the star many thought he’d become, working…

The Chicago Bears will be moving on from quarterback Justin Fields– that seems to be the consensus opinion among fans and experts, anyway. With the no. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft– giving them a clear shot at picking up USC Heisman Trophy winner, QB Caleb Williams– many see it as a no-brainer that the Bears will snatch up the hot prospect to begin a new era in Chicago football. But what to do with Fields? There’s been a thought floating about that says it might be a good idea to keep him aboard for at least one…

The Chicago Bears dilemma rages on. Justin Fields showed signs of major development this past season and sustained flashes of becoming the quarterback the team hoped he could become. However, the team also has the no. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft and access to top-rated quarterback prospect and Heisman award winner, Caleb Williams, who many feel may be a generational talent. So, what do the Bears do? Should they hold on to Fields and continue to build around him, working under the knowledge that they’ll soon have to pay up a hefty sum via Fields’ fifth-year option?…

The Chicago Bears dilemma has been hashed out in media and on social media over and over again. In possession of the no. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, they are first in line to select USC blue chip quarterback prospect and Heisman Award winner Caleb Williams. However, they also currently have a starting quarterback in Justin Fields, who can be a brilliant play maker at times and whose overall game improved significantly over the last part of the previous season. So, what do they do– draft Williams and trade Fields or keep Fields and trade away their…

The Chicago Bears are making a lot of headlines on the offense side of the game. There was a housecleaning of the offensive coaching staff. Shane Waldron was just brought in as the new offensive coordinator. Then, there’s the ongoing debate over the quarterback starting gig– Draft USC blue chip prospect Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft or keep Justin Fields and build around him? What hasn’t received a lot of attention, though, is the Bears’ defense. And the reason for that is, probably, because the defense was outstanding over the last part…

The Chicago Bears very well could be moving away from quarterback Justin Fields, ready to select USC blue chip prospect Caleb Williams as their new starting QB. The Bears have the no. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft for the second straight year and seem increasingly unlikely to trade away that privileged spot for the second time in a row. But not dealing away their no. 1 pick doesn’t mean that the team won’t create plenty of buzz with a big trade prior to the draft. Trade proposals for Fields have been popping up everywhere online. A few…

The Chicago Bears have a raging controversy among followers of the team. Keep quarterback Justin Fields or trade him away and start over with USC Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, selected with their overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft? Some people– actually, many people– don’t seem to think there should be any debate whatsoever. They believe drafting Williams is a no-brainer because, among several reasons, they feel Fields is just not a player around which a winning team can be built. Justin Fields Is Just “Not That Good” Denver Broncos insider Benjamin Allbright of KOAColorado, in a…

The Chicago Bears have a quarterback dilemma– but, maybe, only in some observers’ minds. There are many knowledgeable NFL experts and analysts who feel that the Bears “dilemma” is, actually, a no-brainer. The team will pick USC quarterback and Heisman Award winner Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft and, before that, they will trade current starting QB Justin Fields. For many, the writing was on the wall immediately after Chicago fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as well as quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and running backs coach coach Omar…
