I recently wrote about the biggest draft day blunders by the Chicago Bears so I thought I would take the time to note the best draft day gambles. The players that are drafted in the late rounds that don’t get any attention until they suddenly start making a difference on the field. They [...]

I bet that headline caught your attention.  Despite the consistent success of a few franchises, the NFL has become a very unpredictable place.  The rollar coaster ride has become particularly bumpy in the NFC with an ever changing fight for dominance.  The era of the mid-90’s when Dallas and San Francisco made the NFC Championship [...]

The Chicago Bears accounced this morning that they have given defensive tackle Tommie Harris a 4-year extension.  Although the organization declined to comment on the amount of the contract, the deal is speculated to be worth about $40 million with $18 million guaranteed.  The deal would make Harris the highest paid defensive tackle in franchise [...]

With Training Camp fast approaching I wanted to put the spotlight on the Bears that will have to step up or prove themselves in their respective position.
QB:  Rex Grossman
This one goes without saying.  The Bears brought him back with a 1-year deal to try to once-and-for-all slay his demons and show that he can compete [...]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have too many quarterbacks and the Chicago Bears have a shortage with only Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton returning a few undrafted rookies trying out for the team.  The Bucs have been expected to release quarterback Chris Simms for a few weeks now and the move appears imminent.  The rumors around [...]

I was looking forward to the loss of Cedric Benson because that means rookie Matt Forte can learn from veteran back-up Adrian Peterson.  Peterson is a team player that has taken up the opportunity to contribute on special teams when he couldn’t be in the backfield.  Unfortunately, Forte will not have the aid of Peterson [...]

The release of Cedric Benson puts him in familiar company with first round busts for Chicago Bears.  While I don’t have first hand knowledge of every draft bust in Bears history, I can tell you the greatest draft day flops of the first round for the past 20 years.  I swear, only by accident, by list [...]

On Monday I wrote that the Bears should stick with there current roster of running backs after releasing Cedric Benson.  Oh what a difference two days can make.  A variety of NFL running backs looking for a home have made themselves available to the Bears and are hoping to get a chance at a roster spot. 
The [...]

On Monday afternoon the Bears announced the release of running back Cedric Benson.  The announcement comes as the result of Benson’s second arrest in five weeks for alcohol related incidents.  The Bears organization continues to show a zero tolerance policy for off the field issues starting with Tank Johnson and continuing with Cedric Benson. 
General Manager [...]
