Four key pieces of the Chicago Bears’ 2025 secondary—a group that helped deliver 11 wins and an NFC North title—are no longer on the roster. All four signed one‑year deals elsewhere, with Kevin Byard earning the biggest contract at $9 million. That tells you everything about how the league viewed the Bears’ defense heading into 2026… despite Chicago leading the NFL in takeaways last season.

Ryan Poles has made it clear he wants more speed on defense, so all eyes now turn to what the Bears will do in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Meanwhile, DJ Moore is officially in Buffalo, saying his time in Chicago “just ran its course.” And in Arizona, Josh Sweat reportedly wants out — should the Bears take a serious look at adding him?

Plus, we break down other major NFL notes, including:

• Kyler Murray in Minnesota

• The Tennessee Titans’ new uniforms

• And where Field Yates has Jeremiah Love landing in his latest draft projection

Another loaded show — Bears offseason talk, league news, and everything in between.
