Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor looks to block against the Oklahoma Sooners in the national playoffs.

The Bears look to be on the verge of becoming the pride and joy of Hammond, Ind.

Analysis: Chicago may be where receivers go to die, as Muhsin Muhammad once said, but Illinois is where businesses go to die...or to move elsewhere.

Caleb Williams looks past Maxx Crosby for a target. The Bears need to be looking past Crosby in a possible trade.

Those in the know on the Bears don't see why a team with so many good, young players and an empasis on building in the draft would throw it all away for a top edge.

Former Bears receiver Isaiah Ford will be a quality control assistant for the team this season.

Will Lawing's coaching role has been clarified by the Bears, although their announcement about the 2026 staff doesn't include one position.

Maxx Crosby pressures Bears QB Caleb Williams during last year's 25-24 Bears win.

One elite NFL insider spelled out the edge rusher's status and paints a very clear picture about the possibility of a Raiders trade with the Bears or anyone else.

Caleb Williams gets off a deep ball against the Detroit Lions in a 2025, Week 18 loss.

Caleb Williams’ relationship with coach Ben Johnson is always going to be the center attention with the Bears, as it has been since Day 1 at Halas Hall together
