How good was Darnell Wright’s rookie season?

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Chicago Bears right tackle Darnell Wright started all 17 games as a rookie in 2023, and he brought home plenty of accolades. He made all-rookie teams from the Pro Football Writers Association, the sports data company Sports Info Solutions, NFL.com, and CBS Sports, but this nugget from Pro Football Focus was pretty incredible. Darnell Wright was the only rookie offensive linemen in 2023 who- played at least 100 snaps- had a 60+ run blocking and a 60+ pass blocking grade.Good rookie years from offensive lineman are typically...

The Chicago Bears failed Justin Fields

The Chicago Bears failed Justin Fields

Photo by John Fisher/ An era ended Saturday. The future for the excitement is real, but what could’ve been will echo for years. I still get goosebumps when I remember it. I can hear the words in my mind over and over again. “With the 11th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft the...MY Chicago Bears select Justin Fields quarterback, Ohio State.” The excitement was immediate. No Chicago Bears fan truly believed the team would have a shot at one of the top quarterbacks without a massive trade-up. To get someone of Fields’ caliber, outside the top 10 felt like fate finally...

Chicago Bears gets next to nothing in Justin Fields trade

Chicago Bears gets next to nothing in Justin Fields trade

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ The Chicago Bears finally traded Justin Fields, but the return of their trade netted almost nothing. The Chicago Bears finally pulled the trigger on the trade we knew was coming all offseason. After a couple weeks of trying to gauge the market, the Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the return on the trade was paltry by most standards of young quarterback trades. In return, the Bears are getting just a sixth-round pick in 2025. Per Adam Schefter, that sixth-round pick can turn into a fourth-round pick if...

Steelers steal quarterback Justin Fields from Bears

Steelers steal quarterback Justin Fields from Bears

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ The Steelers have a completely new quarterback room than last year after a flurry of activity. It appears the Cincinnati Bengals will see a few new faces at quarterback fielded by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have traded a conditional sixth-round pick that gets elevated to a fourth-round pick based on playtime to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Justin Fields. Safe to say that was another major steal for an AFC North team at the expense of the Bears. This move comes just a day after Pittsburgh sent former first round quarterback...

Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me. Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise. But most of all thank you to my all my brothers that I played with. You all were the reason I attacked each day the way I did. I can’t thank you all enough for what y’all have meant to me over the last 3...

Chicago Bears Sign DE Jake Martin to One-Year Deal

Why Keenan Allen probably isn’t a one-year rental for the Bears

Why Keenan Allen probably isn’t a one-year rental for the Bears

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports Keenan Allen, the Chicago Bears’ newest acquisition, might be sticking around for a while if he has his way. I must admit, I did NOT have the Chicago Bears trading for Keenan Allen on my bingo card this offseason. Then again, with the Chargers in cap hell and the chance to pick up Allen’s expiring contract for a mere fourth-round pick, why the hell not? Now he’s here and officially a Chicago Bear. What’s more: he expects to be more than a one-year rental in the Windy City. When asked Saturday in his introductory press conference if...

Photo by Joe Scarnici/ The Bears’ newest wide receiver touched down in Chicago today, and he’s excited to be a Bear. Chicago Bears fans were mostly overjoyed last night when the Bears sent a fourth-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen. But then these comments from his post-season press conference popped up, and the mood of some grew worrisome. "I'm not playing for a team that I don't want to play for. It is what it is. I've been playing this game long enough. I'm kind of solidified on that side. If it did come down to...
