Day 37 of the Chicago Bears offseason. Are you searching for that elusive feeling of random joy that you used to have as a child? It’s OK, I don’t blame you. I feel it all the time. My recent quick fix for that has been a cup of apple sauce as a snack in the middle of my workday. It is the perfect midday treat! (#NotAnAd – I just really like apple sauce.)
If you want to play catch-up on what was a busy day at BN Bears, this will help:

— Funky Cold Luda (@lcm1986) February 25, 2026 In addition to a parade of Bears stuff, teammates Matt Rooney chipped in with the latest from ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. (who has the Bears rebuilding the trenches … again) and Patrick Flowers (who takes a look at what is happening around the league). Tuesday was one of the busier NFL Scouting Combine news days I can remember. And to think, there is so much more to come today — and the rest of the week. Stay tuned and keep your head on a swivel. Sean Hammond (Tribune) has a quality roundup of what was said by Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles at the Combine. Among the more intriguing subplots has to do with the respective futures of linebacker Remaine Edmunds and safety Jaquan Brisker. Both were solid defenders for Chicago. But it seems like both could be squeezed off the roster due to salary cap constraints. Brisker is a free agent whose play throughout the duration of his rookie contract might have priced himself out of the Bears’ plans. Meanwhile, Edmunds could be a cap casualty whose departure could clear $15 million in cap space. Poles wasn’t kidding when he said: “We’ve got to make some tough decisions.”FOLLOW BN BEARS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook | Twitter | BlueSky
Over at the Sun-Times, Jason Lieser navigates the complications of the evaluation process that will ultimately lead to significant changes to the roster at Halas Hall. Two players whose jobs seem to be safe, as of now, are tight end Cole Kmet and running back D’Andre Swift. Considering how Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson values the tight end position and the importance of the running game, it comes as no surprise that those two players seem to be on the safe side of the ledger. Mandatory Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images While the dynamic duo of Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles were fielding football questions in Indianapolis, the Indiana House voted to advance the team’s stadium bill by a 95-4 vote. NBC-5 Chicago reports the bill would green-light the allocation of up to $1 billion worth of public funding for a new Bears stadium located in Hammond. Meanwhile, Illinois lawmakers are lining up a hearing for Thursday to discuss a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) bill that would freeze property tax rates for the team as part of a move that would help keep the team from fleeing across state lines. The saga continues. I love the dynamic between Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson:✍???. Lie!! He does not feel bad! t.co/VKNe3sV9NG
— Caleb Williams (@CALEBcsw) February 24, 2026 Fine, I’ll admit it: I’m glad Caleb tanked the 3-point competition. As cool as it would have been to have a two-sport star on our hands, being Chicago’s QB1 is enough of an undertaking that Williams doesn’t need a second gig.

— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) February 25, 2026 The ovations those Bears from the 2025 team will get while showing up at sporting events around town are going to sound so good. And if you think it is nuts now, just wait until they’re parading around the Lombardi Trophy at Wrigley Field, Sox Park, and United Center in the future. Something to keep an eye on if you like watching football on TV. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio shares reporting from Sports Business Journal on YouTube being in negotiations with the NFL on a four-game package. I watched last year’s YouTube game and thought it was a fine presentation. I’m curious what games the platform could land from the league.CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING TO THE PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
Drama in the desert: A source informs ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss that Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has not spoken with GM Monti Ossenfort, which goes directly against what the Cards general manager has told reporters. Considering that Arizona’s football team is reportedly “intrigued” by Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, I imagine this situation is going to get more awkward before it gets better. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders are set to host games in London next season, with the Jags getting a pair of games while renovations at their home stadium in Florida continue. While the Bears are slated to play the Jaguars this upcoming season, the game is slated to be a “home” contest for Chicago’s football team. Then again, that might not mean anything when you consider that the last time these two teams met came (1) in London as a (2) designated home game for the Bears.MORE BEARS FROM BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
