The Chicago Bears have wrapped up their offseason programs. After multiple OTAs and their mandatory minicamp, the players have scattered to enjoy the end of their offseason before they return for training camp in July.

There were plenty of positives, and a few negatives, that we have learned after seeing this team practice and hearing what the players and coaches had to say to the media. There is still plenty of time until the Bears are in Houston to face the Texans in week one, but it’s coming up quicker than you think. There are a few issues this team is going to have to address before the roster can be considered ready for the regular season. It will be interesting to see what Ryan Pace does to fix those issues.

But fear not, Bears fans, there are plenty of positives as well. In fact, there are probably more positives after minicamp than there has been in a long time. Here are 10 takeaways from the Bears offseason programs.
