ESPN is proposing one final offseason move for the Chicago Bears, which would reunite Ben Johnson with a former player.

I’m reminded of a couple of things every year I kick off this annual summer series. One, the Chicago Bears just haven’t been very good during my run here at Windy City Gridiron. More often than not, the Bears I rank as most important to the team’s upcoming season fail to come through big enough to make a difference.

The Bears' defense has a new coordinator, Dennis Allen, who will make defense fun again at Soldier Field, even though GM Ryan Poles didn't make any massive, headline-grabbing moves at edge rusher in free agency or the 2025 NFL draft.
