The Bears have a storied history of elite play at the middle linebacker position. Dick Butkus struck fear into the hearts of opposing offenses as one of the game’s original enforcers throughout the ’60s. Mike Singletary led one of the league’s greatest defenses during the ’80s. Brian Urlacher was the epitome of excellence for playing linebacker in the Tampa 2 …

Hell will free over before Bears Twitter is in agreement on seemingly anything. Did Ryan Poles get enough value out of the top pick? Should he have waited to make the trade?

Teams who land the top overall pick are rarely willing to part ways with the selection, but it seems like that will be the case this year. Chicago has been fielding calls for the prized spot, and they could find a trade partner as early as this week if negotiations intensify at the NFL Scouting Combine. They should be able …
Keenan Allen has been one of the Chargers’ most consistent offensive weapons since entering the league as a third-round selection in 2013. He has dealt with his fair share of injuries but has produced whenever he has been on the field. The 30-year-old is only one year removed from a stretch of five straight trips to the Pro Bowl, and …
In all the speculation surrounding the Chicago Bears’ first-round draft options, most support falls behind Georgia’s defensive tackle Jalen Carter or Alabama’s edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. Trading back with the Indianapolis Colts should keep both available, as both they and the Texans would draft quarterbacks leaving only the Cardinals to take Carter or Anderson.
