A few of our guys are running through a pre-training camp roundtable addressing some topics about the Bears.

With the Chicago Bears away from Halas Hall until training camp opens sometime in July, we wanted to run through a few topics that have been weighing on our minds in a roundtable series.

I asked our team to answer this question: Which Bears position group is the strongest?

And here’s what we had to say.

TJ Starman: I think the WRs are going to get a lot of love here, and it’s well-deserved. However, I’m actually going to go over to...

Whether it be free agency, the draft, or trade rumors, the Chicago Bears have been linked to every available running back this offseason.

When they went elsewhere in free agency, analysts and fans assumed they’d look to this fantastic rookie class of backs for an upgrade. And while the Bears did address the position, they did it at pick number 233 in the seventh round, passing on everyone’s favorites in the previous six rounds.

Rutgers’ Kyle Monangai wasn’t on many fans' radar, but his early work this offseason has caught head coach Ben Johnson’s attention.

“In the running back room,...

Chicago head coach Ben Johnson called Joel Wilson one of the standout “under-the-radar” players this offseason.

Last week, following their final mandatory minicamp practice, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson shouted out four “under-the-radar” players who have impressed him this offseason. Two were members of the 2025 rookie class, running back Kyle Monangai and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II; one was fourth-year defensive lineman Dominique Robinson, and the other was tight end Joel Wilson.

The Bears are Wilson’s fifth team since being an undrafted free agent from Central Michigan in 2023. He signed with the...

Taylor Doll talks with Jeff Ermann of Inside MD Sports to get the skinny on Bears’ rookie linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II.

On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll interviewed Jeff Ermann, the founder of Inside MD Sports, to talk about Chicago Bears’ fourth-round draft pick, linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II. Ermann discusses how Hyppolite’s career began at Maryland and how Ruben fit into the Terps’ defense.

Ermann talked about how Maryland’s scheme, which had Hyppolite plug the middle and read and react, gave the impression he wasn’t as fast and athletic as his testing showed.

Taylor asked him about Hyppolite’s...

The Bears’ 2025 class was in attendance at the Cubs vs. Pirates game on Friday.

The Chicago Bears 2025 rookie class were honored guests at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon.

Ozzy Trapilo, Chicago’s second round OL pick from Boston College, had the privelege of throwing out the first pitch before the Chicago Cubs took on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It wasn’t just the Bears’ drafted players who were in attendance. The team’s undrafted free agent signings from this spring were also part of the outing.

Unfortunately, the team didn’t witness a win as the Cubs fell to the Pirates in extra...

I’m inclined to read anything that comes across my feed related to the Chicago Bears and sacks, so this one piqued my interest for sure.

Since it’s Friday the 13th, NFL.com just dropped a list of the league’s unluckiest players by looking at some of the best ‘bad luck’ stats of 2024, and Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams made the list.

Here’s what they wrote.

Williams’ rookie struggles were notorious. Some of the issues were on the young passer. Others were on a woeful offensive line. According to Next Gen Stats, Williams was the victim of 57 unblocked pressures and...

In the final article of a five-part roundtable series, the WCG staff ranks the top 50 players in the NFC North heading into 2025.

The 2025 NFL season is a few months away, and the anticipation for the start of the season is at an extremely high level.

As the NFL Network has done their player consensus Top 100 ranking each year, Windy City Gridiron’s staff has put together a roundtable over the last few seasons of the best players in the NFC North. With seven contributors pitching in for this year’s roundtable, there was a strong diversity of opinions...

Does anyone have a hundred million dollars lying around?

As reported by Bloomberg, the Chicago Bears are weighing their options of selling the minority interest in the team held by the late Andrew McKenna Sr.’s estate.

Virginia Halas McCaskey, who passed away earlier this year, was the largest shareholder and had voting rights, with her family holding a stake in the majority of the franchise.

Pat Ryan, who just massively invested in a new stadium for the University of Northwestern, is the next largest shareholder.

The Halas and McCaskey families and Ryan would most likely be allowed to purchase McKenna’s...

This might be the Bears last shot to beat their nemesis.

For this question, I am looking for your emotional response. I don’t want a practical answer.

I understand that it’s better for the Chicago Bears to beat the Green Bay Packers from a logistical standpoint. It’s a division opponent and a conference opponent, and a victory there is far more beneficial than beating an AFC opponent.

I don’t want to hear about logic, I want your emotional response.

Question of the Day: Would you rather beat Aaron Rodgers or the Green Bay Packers this year?

Maybe my viewpoint...

Bears fans find it easy to continue to despise Aaron Rodgers

The Bears play the Steelers this year, it’s time to turn the tables on Aaron Rodgers

It’s time to turn the tables.

It’s time to end the madness.

It’s time to give Aaron Rodgers a beatdown.

The NFL schedule came out about a month ago, and if I’m being honest, the team name I looked for first was the Pittsburgh Steelers.

There it was, November 23rd. There was one more piece to the puzzle, and that puzzle fit into place over the last week when free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers and was named their starting quarterback....
