The Official Thread for THE HISTORIC Chicago Bears.

[Ken]

The Falcons have now signed 6 members of last year’s Bears roster this offseason:

DT Eddie Goldman
RB Damien Williams
OL Germain Ifedi
WR Damiere Byrd
OL Elijah Wilkinson
DB Teez Tabor

Ryan Pace has a clear influence on the roster in his front office role in Atlanta.

Sorry Falcons fans.

The Chicago Bears made a splash in free agency with the addition of defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, who’s signing a three-year deal worth $40.5 million.

With the transition to a 4-3 defense, the Bears have locked down a dominant 3-technique in Ogunjobi, who was a big part of the Bengals’ Super Bowl run last year.

This might take on a much different meaning if what I am reading is half true.

It looks like Efu just might be bringing in some very good reinforcements to rebuild the HISTORIC franchise to glory.

I haven't had this much football hope since Mack got here and we were 12-4.

I forgot, offseason means fans drinking up all the Kool Aid - stay hydrated!

[Gregg]

They definitely Bears'd it up

Have we Eberflused this coaching search?

It's Matt Eberflus.

I hope he is better than expectations.

Ryan Poles is the new Bears GM. So far it seems people are well pleased with the hire. I do not know that much about him so I have to wait and see.

He is now in the HC interview process. Did one yesterday with two more coming today. I am not to keen on these three. I hope Poles brings in a few more.

According to 670 The Score’s Matt Spiegel, the Bears are looking to hire a GM before a head coach, which was the aim from the beginning. Perhaps the more interesting nugget is the new GM is expected to be heavily involved in choosing the next head coach, including the finalists.

Perfect! r.mckenzie sounds like a great fit for the HISTORIC bears.

No, no he doesn't.

It would make sense to me if the Bears promoted Champ Kelly to GM. Bears ownership would already know or at least have an idea who Champ would like as coach. And he would not have to be in the interview process.

If ownership is leaning this way it wouldn't matter if they announced the new HC before GM.

I am not saying I agree with this, just something that I could see happening.

[Ken]

They're talking to Reggie McKenzie, for one. Nice guy but I wouldn't want him as my GM.

The Bears are talking to almost everyone with a pulse for their GM and Coach positions. They are being very public (damage control) about the candidates.

I do not remember this transparency or volume when they hired Pace and then Nagy.

They are saying that the GM will operate as the top position for all football activities and yet are open to hiring a coach before the GM if needed.
