Number 1: [FULL EPISODE] Bears trade Gervon Dexter, trim roster to 53
The Bears preseason is over and we're officially counting down to the first game of the regular season. Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote begin by examining the Bears' trade of defensive lineman Gervon Dexter Sr. to the Falcons in return for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a 2027 fifth-round pick. How surprising was the move? Also, we have the Bears' initial 53-man roster. Were there any surprising cuts? And what did we learn from the Bears' win over the Titans in their preseason finale?

Number 2: [FULL EPISODE] Ben Johnson is seeing a more serious Caleb Williams in 2026
As we continue counting down to the Bears' first game of the 2026 season, head coach Ben Johnson explained that quarterback Caleb Williams is "less goofy" this year. Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote decipher what they believe Johnson meant by that. How's Williams being more serious when it comes to his approach to the game? Also, we still have zero idea what's going on with nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon. Even general manager Ryan Poles isn't sure when Gordon will be back — if he's back at all. And defensive coordinator Dennis Allen had praise for what he has seen out of cornerback Jaylon Johnson during the offseason.
