Coming off an 11-6 overall record and winning the NFC North, this offseason is becoming more important than any the Chicago Bears have had in over a decade.
Every decision that Bears head coach Ben Johnson and general manager Ryan Poles make could make or break their Super Bowl chances. They have some big free agents who will be available, including Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker, that Chicago needs to decide whether to bring back.
Another major aspect of the Bears' offseason is the NFL Draft. They found four capable starters from last year's class and will have the pressure of replicating that success in 2026.
