The Latest Breaking News from Ryan Pace

The Bears received some help in the 2024 NFL draft courtesy of their old GM Ryan Pace, who's now in the Falcons front office.

Discover how the Chicago Bears' coaching staff changes are geared towards developing young quarterbacks, with a potential focus on drafting Caleb Williams.

The fact that they’re back in the same predicament tells you that chairman George McCaskey handled the last decision poorly. But what, if anything, did he learn from it?

GM Ryan Poles won’t be using the Browns game as a reason to give Fields a contract extension. It seems unlikely he gives Fields an extension at all. The Bears offense — with plays called by Luke Getsy, quarterbacked by Fields and overseen by coach Matt Eberflus — isn’t working.

The Bears’ secondary was a wreck when Poles took the job in 2021, and he fixed it quickly. It could be a long-term strength — if they can keep Jaylon Johnson.

The best kicker in franchise history, who announced his retirement Wednesday, has a special connection with Chicago that goes beyond his 11-year playing career. He gets it. He gets Bears fans. And he gets what it means to be a Bear.

The teams that quickly flip from pushovers to playoff contenders, like the Jaguars and Texans, typically get coach and quarterback right.

Over the last six games, Fields is competing against the possibility of the Bears owning the No. 1 pick in the draft.

Eberflus can still claw his way out of the job security conversation, but he’ll need something concrete to do so. He’s too far along to be holding up imperceptible progress that isn’t translating to wins.
