The Chicago Bears should draft a wide receiver early - Here is why:

I know, I know.....they have Jeffery and White coming back so why should they pick another receiver?  It's hard to believe, but this will already be Jeffery's fifth year. Yet here we are still waiting to prove he can be a number one receiver.  Don't get me wrong, he is a quality player but he could not say healthy last year when the Bears needed him to step up (or just about any other year for that matter...), and don't forget, he will be a free agent after next year. That brings us to Kevin White who we all had high hopes for last year, and we will gain this year, but has not proven himself yet.  Eddie Royal? Nice veteran but isn't getting any younger, struggled to stay healthy last year, and has only played in all 16 games twice in his career.  

The Bears can trade down, pick up draft picks and still pick up one of the top three wideouts in the 2nd half of the first round, or even the second round, and use the other picks to fill the many holes they still have left.

The Bears will go undefeated in 2016 - Here is why:

JUST KIDDING. DON'T BE AN IDIOT!

Chicago Bears should sign Dominique Easley.

New England recently released the often injured Domingue Easley.  Easley was a solid inside rusher that could add depth to the Defensive line. He is a former first round pick that the Bears were interested in when he came out of college. In retrospect, it was good they didn't get him as a first rounder since he has missed a significant amount of time with injuries, but if they can get him cheap (i.e. league minimum) it would be worth seeing if he can stay healthy and contribute. I see him as a 3rd down pass rusher type and playing a limited number of downs. This should help him finish a season instead of ending up on IR.

Can we please stop pretending the Brears will draft a QB at No.11?

OK, OK, OK.... We get it. You don't like Jay Cutler. That is no excuse for a pure lack of knowledge. There have been FAR to many mocks posted that have the Bears taking a quarterback with the 11th overall pick in the 2016 draft and that is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, they might take a chance on a QB in one of the later rounds but let us take a moment to look at facts;

1) The 2016 has an overwhelming lack of talent at the QB position. 

2) Jay Cutler is coming off one of the best seasons of his career. 

3) The 2016 draft has an overwhelming amount of talented edge rushers. 

4) The Bears still need a good edge rusher. 

5) The Bears defense was still one of the worst in the league last year.

6) JAY CUTLER IS COMING OFF OF ONE OF THE BEST SEASONS OF HIS CAREER! 

With all that being said, why the hell would they take a QB with the 11th overall pick?

New study focuses on anatomy of Woodpeckers help to protect NFL players

It is great that the NFL has finally acknowledged the link of playing football to CTE.  It has been sad to see some of the the Chicago football heroes such as Jim McMahon fight not only their health issues, but with the NFL for acknowledgment and post career support/treatment. Even still, after Dave Duerson shot himself in the chest to preserve his brain for these very studies. 

I recently read about some promising research on preventing concussions focusing on wood peckers. Interestingly, the research didn't focus on helmets but on a collar around the neck that simulates the structure of the woodpecker.  Live research has begun and it is my hope that testing and approval is fast tracked in order to make the sport safer.

I am no scientist but, I also hope the research is somehow expanded to study if there is a related link between possible CTE and all of the domestic abuse and violent that occurs with football stars. For example, Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, Adrian Peterson, and Ray McDonald... It is sad to see so many promising young talents turn so violent.

The Chicago Bears should draft Kyle Fuller's brother.

Before Kyle Fuller's brother, Kendall Fuller, went down with an injury that kept him out of all but three games last year he was projected as being a top 15 NFL draft pick. Not only that, he was also believed to have more pure football talent then his older brother, Kyle, who was drafted at number 14 by the Bears in the 2014 draft. Now, after the injury his draft stock has plummeted to an early to mid second round pick. So with the 10th pick in the second round IF Kendall Fuller falls that far, he would be a straight up STEAL for the Bears. The Chicago Bears need all the talent they can get on defense and Kendall Fuller is an undeniable raw talent at the CB position. On top of that, the sibling rivalry in practice will certainly help push both brothers to be the best they can be, and who knows, maybe in a few years there might be a pair of brothers who are shut down corners playing in The Windy City...

7 years ago today, the Bears acquired Jay Cutler.

Through 3 head coaches and a Slew of offensive coordinators, one thing has remained consistent for the Chicago Bears. That thing? Jay Cutler. Today, April 2, 2016 marks 7 years since Smokin Jay became the face of the Bears. Through those years, fans can still not agree weather they love him or want him off the team. His gun slinging arm has cost him quite a few turn overs but at times has been the only thing to keep the Bears competitive. He has gone through many highs and lows with the team as recent as this season when the front office for the bears was reportedly trying to trade him in the 2015 draft so they could move up and get Marcus Mariota to then going on to have one of his best statistical seasons with the Bears and being considered by many to be "untradeable". Like him or not, his pure arm strength is undeniable and because so many people now see him as "untradeable" he will remain the face of the Chicago Bears for at least one more year.

BREAKING: Bears trade Jay Cutler for draft picks

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

Does Greg Hardy Sense for the Chicago Bears?

Despite what they have already added on defense in free agency, the Chicago Bears still clearly need an edge rusher. They are also among the teams with the most space left under the salary cap. That being said. It is not extremely far fetched to think that they might look to the remaining free agents that could potentially fill that void. Greg Hardy is easily the best remaining free agent with that skill set. Not to mention that the Bears could pick him up for a low price because of his off the field issues. With all that being said, would the move make sense?

Well, on the surface it might. He is a good football player and the Bears need more of those. However, his locker room issues and personal issues may be enough to scare the Bears. The current regime has made it abundantly clear that they do not want any kind of locker room distractions. They have gotten rid of some good players for this very thing including Brandon Marshal, Jeremiah Ratliff and most recently Martellus Bennett.

As if the change of the locker room culture has not swayed you one way or the other on this, what if I told that that he does not fit in with the 3-4 system that Vic Fangio runs. He has only ever played in the 4-3 defense. 

Still not sure weather or not he is worth the risk for the Bears? What if I told you that this years draft is stocked full of edge rushers and the Chicago Bears happen to have 5 picks inside the top 127 picks this year. With all this being said, if someone asked me if Greg Hardy is a good fit for the Bears, my answer would be no.
