The 2025 season ended in heartbreak… but it also gave Chicago Bears fans the clearest message in YEARS: the foundation is real. 🐻⬇️🔥

On this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the biggest things we learned from the Bears’ season — and why the arrow is still pointing UP even after the painful finish.

✅ Ben Johnson is the right coach — leader of men, tone-setter, and the exact type of developer this franchise has been begging for. His passion is contagious and the locker room bought in FAST. 💪😤

✅ Caleb Williams is the QB of the future — yes, the completion percentage, the interceptions, and the “rookie moments” were real… but franchise QBs aren’t perfect, they’re built. After a wild year with constant change, Caleb still delivered late-game magic and formed a legit partnership with Ben Johnson. 🧊⭐

✅ The Bears have WEAPONS — Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, Kyle Monangai, DJ Moore… this offense has pieces that fit what Ben Johnson wants to do. The big question: who’s still here next year? 👀🏈

✅ Ryan Poles learned from mistakes — after years of O-line neglect, he attacked it the right way and the results showed. Now the same urgency has to hit the defensive line. 🧱⚒️

✅ Dennis Allen can coach a defense — Edmunds, D’Marco Jackson, Nahshon Wright, Noah Sewell (when available)… the development was obvious. Now imagine what it looks like with a real pass rush. 😈🔥

📞 Voicemails from the fam: Caleb + Ben Johnson optimism, Bears PTSD, and what’s next

Tap in, Bears fans — because the rebuild is over… now it’s about becoming a problem. 🐻⬇️💥

Ryan Poles officially kicked off the Chicago Bears 2026 offseason with his end-of-year press conference, and he didn’t dodge the tough questions. 🧠🐻⬇️ In this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down everything Poles revealed about the Bears’ future — from key contract decisions, to major injury updates, to front office movement that could impact Chicago’s long-term success.

🔐 Kevin Byard vs. Jaquan Brisker

Poles made it clear he’d love to bring back veteran safety Kevin Byard after an All-Pro caliber season that included 7 interceptions, team leadership, and durability. Meanwhile, Jaquan Brisker’s future remains uncertain despite his strong 2025 bounce-back season and dominant playoff performance. Is health the deciding factor? And can the Bears realistically keep both with cap limitations? 🤔💰

🚑 Injury Updates That Matter for 2026

Poles also provided key updates on several important Bears players:

• Jaylon Johnson (groin + wrist)
• Ozzy Trapilo (torn patellar tendon, surgery confirmed ⏳)
• T.J. Edwards (fractured fibula)
• Noah Sewell (Achilles)
• Plus updates on depth pieces like Terell Smith, Zah Frazier, Shemar Turner, and more

How these recoveries shape free agency, the draft, and the offensive line plans is critical for Chicago moving forward.

🏗️ Cap Space, Draft & Front Office Moves

With the Bears projected to be $4.3M over the 2026 salary cap, Poles must juggle restructures, potential cuts, and draft strategy — all while keeping the roster competitive. We also discuss:

• Important offseason dates 📅
• The Falcons requesting to interview Ian Cunningham 👀
• Why Ben Johnson’s “back to square one” mindset may be exactly what the Bears need

🔥 This offseason isn’t about rebuilding anymore — it’s about sustaining a contender.

So the real question is… do the Bears double down, or do tough decisions reshape the roster?

The Chicago Bears’ magical season ended in gut-wrenching fashion with a 20–17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round. On this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the BEST and WORST performances from Soldier Field, the coaching decisions that decided the game, and what this loss means for Chicago’s future.

🏆 Best of the Night

• Jaquan Brisker put on a playoff MASTERCLASS — 14 tackles, a sack, TFL, PBUs, and a game-changing presence everywhere.
• Kyler Gordon returned in elite form, holding up vs. Puka Nacua while impacting coverage, run defense, and pressure packages.
• Bears Pass Rush showed life — four sacks and real disruption of Matthew Stafford.

🚨 Worst of the Night

• Bears pass catchers let Caleb Williams down — brutal drops, including a likely TD from Rome Odunze, and a killer miscommunication in OT.
• Ben Johnson’s game management — six fourth-down attempts and questionable decisions that left points on the board.

📰 Offseason Storylines

• Eric Bieniemy expected to return to Kansas City as OC — what this means for Chicago’s rushing identity.
• Jaquan Brisker’s free agency — will the Bears pay him, or did he price himself out?
• Ben Johnson on the future — “Next year is a new story,” and he’s not ready to move on yet.
