Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned Wednesday, citing unspecified health reasons. Williams has been in the NFL since 2001, working for five teams in various positions. “I am taking a step back to take care of my health and family,” Williams said in a statement. “I appreciate the opportunity to work with the Chicago Bears, a storied NFL franchise with a rich history.” A one-sentence statement from the Bears was similarly nondescript, and all that is known is that Williams intends to return to football at some point in the future. His Chicago attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, to...

The Chicago Bears are itching to leave Soldier Field, however, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has revealed several proposals to convince the team to remain in Chicago instead of leaving for greener pastures in the suburbs. The Bears have played at Soldier Field for the last 50 years. In September, the team purchased a 326-acre property in Arlington Park, 30 miles northwest of Soldier Field, for $197.2 million. This led to speculation that they would consider this site for a new stadium and was later confirmed by the team. “As part of our mutual agreement with the seller of that property, we are ...

Following his surprising release from the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chicago Bears were to quick to pick up offensive lineman and 2021 first-round pick Alex Leatherwood off waivers. The move should give Chicago depth at multiple positions on the offensive line as General Manager Ryan Poles hopes to develop Leatherwood into a reliable starter. After protecting quarterback Mac Jones all the way to a national championship at Alabama, Leatherwood entered the 2021 NFL Draft as one of the highest-ranked offensive linemen on the board. Under former Head Coach Jon Gruden, the Raiders took the tackle with ...

The Bears are not in a good spot heading into the 2022 NFL Season. After going through a regime change following the disastrous Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace era, they go into 2022 with Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus. However, after doing nothing during the offseason to aid Justin Fields‘ development at the quarterback position, and dealing with the drama surrounding defensive lineman Robert Quinn, there is more turmoil surrounding franchise linebacker Roquan Smith. Smith released a statement expressing his displeasure at the front office, citing that the “new front office regime doesn’t value me here...

The Houston Texans have hired Lovie Smith as their new head coach. Smith, who is African American, is the second minority candidate to be hired this offseason after the Miami Dolphins brought on San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who is biracial, on Sunday. Smith, 63, spent last season as Houston’s associate head coach and defensive coordinator, and he’ll take over for David Culley, who also is African American and was fired after just one season, under dubious circumstances. Prior to the Texans, Smith spent 2016-2020 as the head coach at Illinois. “[Smith] is one of the ...

Remember those vaunted Chicago Bears defenses from the mid-to-late 20th century? I bet you thought those guys are all dead. Well, they’re (mostly) still alive. And one of the franchise’s all-time greats—Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus—just joined Twitter. Yes, it’s really him: And he’s handling Tweets like he did opposing players: destroying them. One of the toughest to ever play in the NFL, Butkus spent his entire career with the Bears from 1965 to 1973. Take a look at how the five-time First-Team All-Pro, eight-time Pro Bowler, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and member of the 196...

The Chicago Bears will have a much different look next season, as the team fired GM Ryan Pace and head coach Matt Nagy on “Black Monday.” The Nagy firing was expected, as he put together a 34-31 record in four seasons—despite a 12-4 record, NFC North title, and playoff appearance in his first season, which garnered him NFL Coach of the Year honors. However, the team failed to put together a winning season in his ensuing three years, including consecutive 8-8 campaigns and a five-game losing streak in 2021 for a 6-11 finish. He went 0-2 in the playoffs and famously lost on the “double-doink” fi...

The Green Bay Packers are off to a terrific 5-1 start this season, and the Aaron Rodgers drama that plagued the team the whole offseason is looking like a distant memory. However, as soon as the 2021 season ends, last year’s drama might start to pick up steam and that’s because Rodgers still doesn’t seem interested in staying in Green Bay much longer. Rodgers’ frustration with the Packers came to a boiling point in the offseason as his contract was restructured in a way that basically forces the Packers to cut ties with him before 2022. If Rodgers does end up leaving, there’s one team he defin...

The Chicago Bears placed the veteran running back Damien Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday. If he is asymptomatic and is vaccinated, he would be able to return once he produces two negative tests 24 hours apart. If he is vaccinated and develops symptoms, he would be able to return once he produces two negative tests 24 hours apart and is asymptomatic for 48 hours. If he is unvaccinated, he would have to quarantine for a minimum of 10 days. This is very problematic for the Bears as the timing of Williams going on the reserve/COVID-19 list leaves them without one more player. The Be...

The Chicago Bears took steps to potentially move on from their long-time home of Soldier Field, and the mayor is not happy about it. Soldier Field has been the home of the Bears since 1971, but that could now change. Recently in a statement, team president Ted Phillips revealed that the franchise made a bid for land to use for the construction of a new stadium. “We recently submitted a bid to purchase the Arlington International Racecourse property,” Phillips said in a statement. “It’s our obligation to explore every possible option to ensure we’re doing what’s best for our organization and it...
