The Bears need edge rushers again, several actually, and fortunately for them it is the best – or at least deepest – position in the first two or three rounds of this year’s draft, Hub Arkush writes.

Changing NFL strategies have devalued the running back position, but a special prospect such as Texas' Bijan Robinson potentially falling to No. 9 is a scenario Bears GM Ryan Poles at least has to consider, Hub Arkush writes.

Ryan Poles has done an excellent job so far of adding interesting young talent while staying patient. He has an opportunity to continue that plan and fix his lack of pass-rush talent at the same time, Hub Arkush writes.

Justin Fields' NFL career is off to a promising start, but he hasn't yet shown he'll become a franchise QB. It's clear the Bears set out this offseason to provide Fields with the weapons he needs to take the next step, Hub Arkush writes.

While there is plenty more work still to be done, Bears GM Ryan Poles is giving Bears fans reason to feel good about the approach he's taking this offseason, Hub Arkush writes.

With Friday’s blockbuster trade, Bears GM Ryan Poles is now a serious player at the NFL’s highest level, Hub Arkush writes, and anyone who believes there aren’t more deals coming probably isn’t paying attention.

Free agency begins next week and the Chicago Bears have a lot of money to spend. We're about to learn a lot about second-year general manager Ryan Poles, writes Hub Arkush.

The Bears aren’t going to the Super Bowl in 2023 and it’s highly unlikely they’ll be in the playoffs. But with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and roughly $100 million to spend in free agency, GM Ryan Poles does have the assets to vastly improve his team.

After the defensive line, wide receiver is a top priority for the Bears this offseason. Hub Arkush explores some draft options to help solidify the position.

So how fitting is it that the “experts” agree the strongest and deepest position in this year’s college draft is defensive line, and no team has more draft capital to work with than the Bears?

For Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, coming to the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine has a feel of coming home. Eberflus spent four seasons as the Colts defensive coordinator and turned one of the NFL’s worst defenses into a top-10 group earning him his current job.

Sunday's conference championship games feature the four best teams in the NFL. We should be in for a treat, writes NFL analyst Hub Arkush.

Quarterback Justin Fields isn't a finished product and it's unclear if he can reach his ceiling, Hub Arkush writes. Regardless, the Bears would be wise to trade the No. 1 overall pick.

"It was four months ago Thursday that I suffered a near-death experience," Hub Arkush writes. "... I don’t know that I could have made it without the kindness and generosity of each and every one of you."

Saturday's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs was a mixed bag for the Chicago Bears, with some big plays from youngsters helping to balance the lackluster results for the first and second strings, Hub Arkush writes.
