There is tons of Bears content out there and I watch a lot of different pundits. Its kind of a slow period now. I only watched the first 12 minutes of this video, but the first 2 minutes of the opening is the best with Bears content. IMO Anyone have a better one?

I dont think they are worried about LT but definitely have a need at DE. Mainly because of the health of Turner and Dayo coming off injuries. Is there someone else on the roster they see we dont? Johnathan Garvin, Daniel Hardy, Jamree Kromah, Jerimiah Martin? I dont see it. Also Street has played outside before, listed as a DT.

We signed another WR and LBer today. Kaden Davis and Tony Fields respectfully. The WR is a little over 6'1". I suspect we need more height in the WR room which may say something about the progression of Walker.(6'3") I would think its pretty full at 10.

As a team, if they upgrade it is the 80 to 90 group of players. Before we were trying to upgrade every position, but now DE is the main weakness left to address. Came a long way over the last two yrs.

I have heard that mentioned before about, Dexter isnt really a good fit for DAs defense. He has the size and 6 sacks last year. That's could get us a descent return.

I know they are not in pads but a lot of people saying Braxton Jones gives off a positive vibe with attitude and body improvement in camp. JJ is moving well after the injury plagued season last year. Lots of people praising Sweat for his work and body improvement.

That is going to be the 4th TE, and did leave off the RBs , my bad.

Im not trying to say this is what it will actually be , but just saw this and thought it may show a positive example that is going to become a reality in the great state of Indiana

Some pundits are saying the Bears still need another WR. Rome/Burden/Raymond/Walker/Thomas//Scott Miller||||| Loveland/Kmet/Roush/Large WHY? Dayo is on the field. all I got

Because some fans are stupid. Just like the Chicago politician that said they were building on a toxic wasteland. Here is what it looks like and I will be happy when the Bears give the finger to the Illinois politicians for playing games.

Nothing has changed. JB said he cant expect the taxpayers to pay for this. Yet now he doesnt care if they do because losing the Bears will make him look bad. Illinois is 200 billion in debt. The only way to pay for it is new taxes in a state that is 3rd in the country with taxes. I cant believe how stupid Illinois Bear fans are. they move 25 miles away, Indiana will pay for it and they get a new stadium. Those all sound like a plus to me.

They rent right now and its worth 9 billion,.

I suspect its about getting a high return on their investment compared to how long it will take to pay back their investment if they owned it. If they owned the stadium it would still need to be replaced in 40 years also.

This explains what most of the deal with Indiana will supply. They will become a tenant with the option to buy the stadium at the end of the lease. What makes this attractive is the bulk of the dollars brought in will go to them. Basically they will get a high return on the their money invested in the Stadium and then buy the stadium for 1 dollar at the end of the lease. There is already casinos in the area. That is the attractive part for the State by getting more revenue with the added attention to Hammond. (No, the Chicago Bears would not own the stadium (at least initially) if they move to Hammond, Indiana. indianacapitalchronicle.com Recent developments (as of June 5-6, 2026) show the Bears' Board of Directors voted to advance stadium plans in Hammond after stalled negotiations in Illinois. The project involves a new, enclosed stadium (likely near Wolf Lake) as part of a broader mixed-use development. chicagobears.com Key Details on Ownership and Financing Public ownership via authority: Indiana's legislation (Senate Bill 27, passed earlier in 2026) created the Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority. This public body would acquire land, issue bonds, finance, construct, own, and lease the stadium. indianacapitalchronicle.com Bears' role: The team would act as a tenant under a long-term lease (at least 35 years). They have committed ~$2 billion toward the project (construction and related development), while public incentives total up to ~$1 billion. The Bears would keep most game-day and non-football event revenues, handle maintenance/operations, and avoid property taxes during the lease. indianacapitalchronicle.com Path to potential ownership: At the end of the lease, the Bears could have an option to purchase the stadium—either for any remaining debt or for $1 if bonds are fully paid off (via lease payments and related taxes like admissions, food/beverage, and hotel taxes in

Warren has been playing politics because he eventually wants to be the Mayor of Chicago, that's why he keeps playing with Chicago. This time the board voted on it which excludes his games. Until shovels are in the ground is what matters . I would prefer AH because its a hour away from me but the state and city are in a bad financial situation and cant help the Bears unless they add more taxes in one of the highest taxed states in the Union but this is a major step in going to Indiana.

yes of course, hibernation time.

I think the fact all of this stadium talk has controlled the airways we didnt notice that Logan Jones and Thieneman signed. Is Rousch signed yet? One thing got exposed, Loveland, Burden and Zavion Thomas are going to wreak the NFL.

Good point a facility that will have a great spot to tailgate and to support fans.

I love when people say its toxic and yet there is a public golf course there. That is political talk because that's all they got. Half of Chicago is built on toxic land reclamation. The state and city is in financial ruins so they cant help the Bears. It would nice to stay there or go to AH but no one wants more taxes in the 3rd highest taxed state in the union. Its closer to the Lakefront than coming from Barrington or northwest of there. Lets get a great stadium (hopeful) and watch the Bears play in a SB there. Caleb will still be here in 5 years. Just heard this on the radio, as we enter our SB run with Caleb and BJ and they are going to bail on the team. That is not going to happen.

All the pundits are complaining about this sh** show that is moving the team. When the team goes to Indiana, they will still follow the Bears and 95% of the fans will still be fans. The City of Chicago cant afford to keep the Bears, the State of Illinois cant afford to help the Bears. Indiana is in good financial space and can afford to invest in the Bears. McCaskey bought the Racetrack and then found out that instead of a fair tax base, Racetrack was paying 3 mil a year, they told them they would be paying between 100-200 mil a year. They hired Warren and he tried to negotiate with AH and state to get a fair assessment. When that didnt happen he tried to leverage other cities to get what he wanted. Enter Indiana. Nothing has changed , the state or Chicago cant afford the money because they are bankrupt,. Indiana is in good a financial state. It doesnt take a brain surgeon to figure how this will play out.

Isnt Zah Taylor related to our OC? Brothers?

It appears Cleve wanted a price controlled pass rush asset . Verse 2.1 mil, Sweat 25 mil. They made this trade because they didnt want to lose Garrett but to help there cap situation. We never had a chance to be in the mix.

As AZ stated this next off season will be the reset with more flexibility next year. As much I think this will be a successful year, next year should be the run to the SB. It would be nice if we surprising get farther this year. I wonder how many of these big player trades actually get their team to the SB? So far it didnt work out for GB and Khali Mack didnt get us very far. The Rams almost made it their last year so it makes more sense for a team like that than most teams. I very interested in seeing if the Rams make it to the SB.

Jared Verse + first round pick+ other considerations. ( reported by Rapoport)
