Chicago Bears Sign 2013 First Round Pick Kyle Long
Let’s face it, the Chicago Bears offensive line was a complete mess the past two seasons. And maybe drafting Kyle Long with the twentieth pick in the first round was a bit of a reach but it was still a solid pick for a need they had to address.
They officially inked Kyle, son of NFL great Howie Long, to a four-year deal. He should immediately start at right guard and possibly move...

Chicago Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler is Borderline Football Brilliant? Seriously?
Jay Cutler has been called a lot of things. Some of them have been complimentary. Most of them are ones that I shouldn't include in this post (since I don't like to curse when I write). His new quarterbacks coach called him something in a recent interview that will likely come as quite a shock.
Borderline football brilliant.
Those were the words that Matt Cavanaugh...
Bears defensive tackle Henry Melton still hopeful a long term deal can be worked out
Chicago Bears defensive tackle Henry Melton signed his franchised tag tender quickly, but the strategy could backfire on him.
Matt Forte face a similar circumstance and he refused to sign and he was rewarded with a long term deal right before training camp.
Melton is using the good faith method; however, in the NFL good faith usually means you’re getting the screws put to you...
Chicago Bears Roster Competition: Can Cornelius Washington Be Better Than Shea McClellin?
Phil Emery may have gotten the best talent in the draft in the back end of the 2013 NFL Draft thanks to players like Marquess Wilson and Cornelius Washington from Georgia. Washington is an explosive pass rusher who shows a tremendous first step and speed to the outside. Washington has the length, the size and speed to be an effective base 4-3 defensive end in this scheme. He...
Jay Cutler Is ‘Borderline Football Brilliant,’ According to New Bears Quarterback Coach Matt Cavanaugh
The Bears may not have enough confidence in Jay Cutler to extend his contract, which expires after this season. But Chicago’s new quarterback coach, Matt Cavanaugh, had some high praise for the seventh-year quarterback.
Of course, it’s worth noting that prior to Cavanaugh getting hired by the Bears, he spent four years tutoring Mark Sanchez as the Jets’ quarterback coach. So...

Urlacher leaning towards rival
Former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has been on the free agent market for a while now and hasn’t made a single visit yet. The market for him has been completely silent since the NFL Draft.

Gabe Carimi may be on the way out in Chicago
According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, offensive lineman Gabe Carimi is fighting for a roster spot after being taken in the first round of the 2011 draft.
Forget battling for a starting job right now, the 2011 first-round draft pick faces competition for a roster spot. The Bears essentially have made right tackle a battle between J’Marcus Webb and Jonathan Scott, a non...
Marc Trestman using innovative tactics to improve Bears
When the Chicago Bears hired head coach Marc Trestman everyone knew that changes were on the horizon in the Windy City. For the first time in recent memory, Chicago has an offensive minded coach, scheming for potentially elite offensive talent; a far cry from the traditional ground and pound defensive minded Bears of yesteryear. It didn’t take long for Trestman to make a mark on...
Chicago Bears Holding ‘Open Competition’ At Linebacker
Things were looking pretty thin at linebacker for the Chicago Bears when Mel Tucker took over as the new defensive coordinator in January.

Williams in free agency and second round pick Jon Bostic (No. 50 overall) and fourth...
