The Chicago Bears have the overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. That makes them first in line to draft USC blue chip quarterback prospect and Heisman Award winner Caleb Williams. They also currently have a young, viable starting quarterback in Justin Fields, who has struggled with inconsistency, but showed signs of solid development by the second half of last season. This puts Chicago in the difficult position of having to choose between keeping Fields and using their draft picks to build around him or starting over at QB with Williams, hoping for him to be everything they…

The Chicago Bears stand to gain a lot from their overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL Draft. USC blue chip quarterback prospect, Heisman Award winner Caleb Williams will be there for the taking, of course. But then there’s that no. 1 pick, itself, and the riches it could bring the team if they structured the right deal around trading it away. In a mock draft conducted by NBC Sports Chicago, a scenario was conjured up by which Chicago would trade down– twice– in this year’s draft for a mega-haul that would bring the team ten high-value draft picks…

The Chicago Bears have a dilemma on their hands, but consider it a bit of an “embarrassment of riches” dilemma. With the overall no. 1 pick in this upcoming NFL Draft and a viable trade asset in quarterback Justin Fields, the team is in line to bring in a haul of talent. Financially, they are also well set and come into this offseason with a good amount of spendable income for free agent acquisitions to round out the roster. In a perfect Bears world, the team enters next season with a high-end quarterback– either top QB blue-chipper Caleb Williams or…

The Chicago Bears internal debate rages on. Should the Bears ditch starting quarterback Justin Fields and draft USC blue chip QB prospect Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft? Or should they keep Fields, build around him with their two first round picks (no. 1 and no. 9) and count on his improving field play and increasing consistency to take him to next-level success? General Manager Ryan Poles and the Bears front office already announced a focus on offensive change last week when they fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as well as quarterbacks coach…

The Dallas Cowboys’ 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was ugly for a lot of reasons. The Cowboys became the first team in NFL history to lose a playoff game to a wild card #7 seed. They also put an exclamation mark on their utter postseason feebleness in the Mike McCarthy era, with their record standing at 1-3 in the three years McCarthy has brought the team to the playoffs. Despite great success in the regular season (with three straight 12-win seasons and two NFC East titles), the team has failed where it matters most. So, now…

What to do, what to do? The Chicago Bears may have completely purged their offensive coaching staff in an effort to rebuild an inconsistent and sometimes awful offense, but they continue to have some big decisions ahead of them. Chief among those decisions is what to do at quarterback. Starter Justin Fields is headed into his fourth year as a pro and, despite some improvements in performance and consistency, there are still plenty of questions regarding his long-term viability as a high-end NFL starter. And with these questions swirling around Fields, Chicago is also in possession of a no. 1…

The Chicago Bears only needed about three days to start answering questions about the team’s unsure future direction. But when the front office started answering those questions, they practically screamed their solutions. On Wednesday, per CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports, it was announced that the team had fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as well as quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and running backs coach coach Omar Young. The Great Chicago Bears Purge of 2024 This is a prodigious purge by the Chicago front office, but not really an unexpected one. There is much unhappiness with a…

The drama over the Chicago Bears’ immediate future is ongoing. Will they bring back head coach Matt Eberflus? Will they make key subtractions and additions to the rest of the coaching staff? Will they trade quarterback Justin Fields away to start in a new direction? And, maybe overriding everything, what will they do with their no. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft? Oh yeah, and there’s the fact that the team is currently cash-rich and will have a nice amount of spendable income to beef up the roster with veteran talent. Free Agency Spending Looms Large Actually, no…

Will the Chicago Bears keep rolling with quarterback Justin Fields or will they deal him and throw their faith behind blue chip no. 1 draft pick Caleb Williams? That’s been THE story with the historic franchise for the last several weeks. After Justin Fields’ poor performance in Chicago’s 17-9 loss to the archrival Green Bay Packers on Sunday, that decision may have already been made. To be fair, the 24-year-old Fields’ subpar showing (11-for-16 for 148 yards) wasn’t entirely his fault. The offensive line played horrendously Sunday at Lambeau Field, allowing five sacks and just generally giving way to a…

When the usually affable and exceedingly diplomatic Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields steps to the mic and rips someone or something, you know there’s something deeper than football at play. “Their fans are gonna be loud because there’s not much to do in Green Bay except watch football,” Fields recently told media, in reference to the Bears’ upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field Before that, though, former Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers lobbed another grenade into the rivalry, proving that the Packers-Bears quarrel is a forever thing. “Is it a rivalry anymore? If they can’t beat us,…
