Day 59 of the Chicago Bears offseason. While the Fire (and, now, White Sox) angle to build stadium development projects downtown in the heart of Chicago, the Bears are choosing to build in Northwest Indiana or suburban Arlington Heights. I wish I could explain why in a manner that doesn’t result in me circling back to the NFL’s desire to squeeze every penny out of its hard-working customer, but I just can’t bring myself to do so.
ICYMI: The Bears have brought linebacker Jack Sanborn back into the fold. But don’t get it twisted. This isn’t a move made out of fan service. Instead, I see this signing as a move that brings in a player who will provide quality depth and has starting experience. That stuff could come in handy in case linebackers T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell — both of whom had season-ending injuries late in the 2025 season — aren’t ready to be a full go when the ball gets rolling on football activities later in the spring and into the summer. It is a smart signing. Don’t overthink it. While Sanborn’s return is a nice story, it does make me wonder about what the future holds for linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II. Since using a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to take the University of Maryland product, the Bears have claimed one player (D’Marco Jackson in August 2025) who passed him on the depth chart and signed another (Sanborn) who threatens to do the same. (Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images) I am still holding out hope that Hyppolite’s speed and athleticism can translate into on-field success in Year 2. I’ve lost count of how many times a Day 3 pick has contributed as a second-year player after seeing his rookie season used as a de facto redshirt year. And it’s not as if there wasn’t some buzz surrounding the pick’s potential. There was a time when it was believed that Hyppolite could play his way into a starting role. But it feels telling that the team keeps adding guys who play his position. In short, what happens during the offseason training program and in training camp will dictate Hyppolite’s future. Offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie also projects to be squarely on the roster bubble going into 2026. Amegadjie went from being a top-100 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to someone who has fallen behind five players (Ozzy Trapilo, Theo Benedet, Jordan McFadden, Luke Newman, Jedrick Wills Jr.) on the offensive line pecking order. Earlier in the offseason, one NFL pundit opined Amegadjie could be a change-of-scenery candidate. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson appears open to developing the Yale product, so there is still hope for him moving forward. However, it looks like the Hinsdale Central product has quite the climb ahead of him in what figures to be a compelling battle for a spot on Chicago’s offensive line.THE BN BEARS PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
Old Friend Finds New Home, Pt. 1: Former Bears quarterback Andy Dalton is on the move. Daltin is headed from the Carolina Panthers to the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade that will net Carolina a 2027 seventh-round pick. It isn’t much, but this isn’t an inconsequential move. At a minimum, this trade informs us about what the going rate for backup quarterback trades looks like right now. So if you are someone who thinks Chicago should jettison QB2 Tyson Bagent in a deal for draft capital, it might make sense to wait until later when a team might feel some desperation to swing a quarterback trade. This simply isn’t the time to do it. Old Friend Finds New Home, Pt. 2: Justin Fields passed his phyical with the Kansas City Chiefs, making their trade with the New York Jets officially official. Naturally, the Chiefs celebrated the arrival of Chicago’s 2021 first-round pick by sharing a nearly four-minute sizzle reel of highlights:.@justnfields gets upfield quick ? pic.twitter.com/GU3I4fQi62
— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) March 18, 2026 If you have ever wondered what the NFL would look like if it were broken up into a March Madness-style bracket, John Breech (CBS Sports) has you covered. I love that the Bears get to the Elite Eight, but I was bummed to see them fall to the Seattle Seahawks in the regional final. Perhaps these two teams can run it back in Week 1 of the NFL regular-season, which is reportedly set to take place on Wednesday, Sept. 9, with the defending Super Bowl champs hosting the festivities..BN BEARS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook | Twitter | BlueSky
The Browns made an interesting signing on Wednesday, with ESPN reporting that former Buffalo Bills defensive end AJ Epenesa is signing a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with Cleveland. A second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Epenesa has been a solid rotational piece of Buffalo’s defensive line. Epenesa was a two-time first-team All-Big Ten performer at Iowa in his final two years on campus, but his game hasn’t leveled up in the pros. And yet, I thought Epenesa could have been a nice fit for the Bears’ rotation of defensive ends and edge rushers. Oh, well. I’m sure there are other fits that we haven’t considered just yet.MORE BEARS FROM BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
