Today is a BIG day.
Today marks the first day that we are counting down to the 2026 Chicago Bears regular season instead of counting UP from the end of the 2025 season. This is a mesh point of our offseason. And I’m so happy to be here.

In case you missed it: Bears first-round pick Dillon Thieneman is set to sign his rookie deal. And as I am typing out Bullets, I just got a push notification about center Logan Jones joining him on that front, too. Once that becomes officially official, I believe Chicago’s football team will have signed all of its draft picks. (UPDATE: Nah, Sam Roush still needs to sign his deal). More on Jones after I push BN Bears Bullets out the door. Logan Jones (54) stretches during Rookie Minicamp at Halas Hall.

— Brenden Moore (@brendenmoore13) June 5, 2026When the Bears lose a big game, there’s usually a team full of players to blame. The same goes for the stadium saga that has yet to have its final chapter written in the choice between Illinois and Indiana, writes Mitchell Armentrout. t.co/BUdcVfs3RR
— Chicago Sun-Times (@Suntimes) June 5, 2026 I think this section in the Sun-Times piece captures the spirit of the thing:The list starts with former Bears president Ted Phillips, continues with his successor Kevin Warren and goes right down the line to the officials who couldn’t, or wouldn’t, get the ball over the legislative goal line.
Fans have been quick to point the finger at Gov. JB Pritzker, but the line extends to Illinois Senate President Don Harmon and House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, on down to Mayor Brandon Johnson and his tag-team partner, Chicago Teachers Union president Stacy Davis Gates — all the way to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, the county Democratic Party chair.
“There is nobody, including the media, whose hands are not on the bloody knife,” a source close to negotiations said. “Everyone’s hands are on it.
Paul Sullivan’s column at the Tribune about how leaving a Bears-Packers game early could wreck the legacy of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. Breaking rule No. 1 of fandom is a tough look. But to admit to it publicly is ridiculously stupid. There are some things that need to be taken to the grave. I’m so glad the Bears are coming off a strong season and project to be competitive again this year, because an offseason of following stadium nonsense would turn the hairs in my beard from black to gray with swiftness. The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain has more from OTAs. ESPN ranks the NFL teams most likely to go from worst to first. And, as you might expect, the Detroit Lions — who posted a 9-8 record while bringing up the rear in the NFC North — are viewed as a major threat to take the division in 2026. Detroit’s preseason playoff odds have opened at 68.4 percent at ESPN, with a 38.2 percent chance to win the division. NFL trades are starting to get quirky. John Breech (CBS Sports) writes about how an unusual clause in the trade that sent star pass rusher Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams could net the Clevelanders a bonus first-round pick. As Russell Wilson takes his talents from the football field to the broadcast booth, the folks at FOX Sports go inside the numbers to assess the quarterback’s career. I’ll always remember the offseason when the Bears were hot and heavy in their pursuit of a Russell Wilson trade. It didn’t come to fruition, and Chicago football fans should consider themselves lucky that it didn’t.FOLLOW BN BEARS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook | Twitter | BlueSky

— Bleacher Nation (@bleachernation.bsky.social) June 3, 2026 at 9:21 AM The Windy City Bulls have hired a new general manager. Our friends at BN Bulls have more on that store here. Detroit Red Wings star Dylan Larkin has requested a trade. Tab Bamford wonders if Larkin is a good fit for the Chicago Blackhawks. I could have never imagined these two teams cooking up a trade when I got into hockey back in the 2010s. But now that these two long-time rivals aren’t in the same conference, perhaps they could strike a deal.More Bears From Bleacher Nation: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
