Post Draft - Bears State of the Union... Just 2 short years ago we sat in Salary Cap hell with aging veterans and a team short on depth and talent. We were also short on draft capital especially in the front of the draft due to the negligence or the prior regime.
Appreciate all the kind words and support. Just remember you don't always hit on every trade, draft pick or signing but we will try to every time. Yesterday was Yesterday and today is another day to work towards our vision. That vision being bringing a title to Chicago.
What a weekend for the
@ChicagoBears
A huge thank you to the McCaskey family along with Kevin Warren. Also job well done by our scouts, our player personnel guys, my right hand man Ian Cunningham and our Coaching staff. Last bout not least thank you Chicago Bears Fans Da Best!
Free Agency less than 10 days away. These next 2 months are going to reshape the future of Chicago Bears football and I for one am excited about what we are building here. Bear Down!!!
I appreciate you
@justnfields
this was a tough decision and a business decision. This team is on the brink of contention. I didn’t draft you but I will continue to root for you. Resetting the clock at the most expensive position in the NFL gives us the best chance to win.
4 More Sleeps. Soldier Field is going to be electric on Sunday. The past is the past and the present is the present and we are so excited for this group.
Doing right by Justin can also include hiring a great offensive staff and continuing to build on both sides of the ball. We were 3 blown 4th quarter games away from being 10-7. We are closer than people think.
Just remember the Detroit Lions started last year 1-6.
Year 1 (3-13)
Year 2 (9-8) Started 1-6
Year 3 (3-1)
If you dont want to give us time thats fine. Dont come jumping back on the bandwagon when things turn around.
Good Evening Bears Nation. When I was hired in Chicago I was hired to put together a team that can win year in and year out. The sad truth is when I walked into that door I walked into a team that lacked talent and depth across the board. From a financial and draft standpoint
Luke Getsy and Allan Williams I am putting you on notice. That was a pathetic display of football yesterday. No aggressiveness on either side of the football.
Wanted everyone to hear it here before the Rap Sheet or Schefter tries to take credit for this but as of this morning the Chicago Bears have let OC Luke Getsy know that he is being relieved of his duties. We would like to thank Luke for his time and wish him well in the future.
The Bears have acquired Seahawks edge rusher Darrell Taylor for a 6th round pick, per

@Chicago_NFL
Its not tough at all its simple. We need to protect Justin and see what we have with Moore, Mooney and Claypool. Then if we still need a big time WR we can draft Marvin Harrison Jr. next year who will be elite!
Don't get too high or too low the next couple of days. Lots of smoke screens and bs out there. Just tune in Thursday and enjoy the next step of the process. We will win.
Good Morning Chicago Id like to clear up some confusion after last nights trade for K. Allen. Rumor is we will be trading back from 9 to pick up more picks. That news is incorrect. We will be trading back from

and getting a haul of picks. Thanks everyone and Go Bears!!!

Good Morning Bears Nation! Today is finally the day. No more mocks, no more speculation. The next step in the process is tonight. Use the

Great day to be a Chicago Bear fan but you know what would be even better…..Steve Mongo McMichael getting his rightful due and into the
@ProFootballHOF
Jalen Carter has great potential no doubt. But in the 4th quarter of a big game which Carter are you going to get. The one who flashes dominance or the one who on his biggest job interview ever showed up overweight and couldnt finish drills. You can risk that type of pick

@LaurenceWHolmes
isn't sold on the Darnell Wright pick
"The Bears drafted a right tackle because they think they've got their left tackle. And I'm not convinced that they do have their left tackle."
Imagine being pissed about getting a Running Back with 1/2 the Mileage in carries, better YPC than the top dogs on the market and at a cheaper cost. What a time to be alive!
Today we have terminated the contract of OC Luke Getsy. Sunday's sabotage of the offense at Green Bay was the finally nail in the coffin. We thank Luke for his contributions which were not much and wish him well in the future. Go Bears!
To address one common question from this weekends draft. The Center position...We feel comfortable with the veteran combo of Cody and Lucas for this next year. We had area's of needs that were more pressing especially on the Defensive interior. You can not just focus and build
We not only let you walk out the door but we let you walk to a division rival. That is what we think of you. Only thing you will be competing for is 2nd place in the North.

"I like to compete. That's what football's about. It's so refreshing to be in a place where that's appreciated."
- David Montgomery on being with the Detroit Lions
Always good to wake up a winner. Great having Tevan back on the offensive line. He solidifies our group so much. Loved the aggressive nature from Coach Flus calling the defense last night. Great to see young pieces developing on the fly. Take no win for granted. NFL is Hard
Just a peak of what the future could be like. These next two drafts are going to be the building blocks for long term talent, depth and success. Go Bears
I ask following the announcement later tonight that Bear fans take a 24 hour break from Caleb/Justin, Coach Flus/Others debates and instead Celebrate the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame representing the Chicago Bears.
There is nothing and I mean nothing better than a January Playoff game in Chicago in Bear weather. We are going to make sure that is a yearly thing around here. New Era.

You know what helps DBs in this league....a pass rush. You know what fans have been bitching about.....our pass rush. Make a move for some pass rush and fans still bitch.
We will not be pursuing DeAndre Hopkins if he is pursuing a Long Term, Big Money deal. With his age, recent injury history and declining production we would be interested on an affordable short term deal. I dont think that is what DeAndre is looking for.
We were beyond fortunate to get Ian for one more year. He will get that front office job he has been working for next offseason. We wouldn't be where we are today without him. Going to miss him.
Anonymous NFL agents voted Ian Cunningham as the top "future GM to watch" across the league, according to The Athletic 👀
Here's what agents said about him:
It was Draft Wright at 9 and get nothing or trade back a spot and pick up a pick. There was no Trade back in play with Pittsburgh or anyone else that would of netted the assets we needed while still taking one of the guys we were high on. There are plenty more holes to fill.
Congrats to Coach Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines on a National Championship last night. Once a Chicago Bear always a Chicago Bear. Remember folks you can always come back home.....
