  • The Chicago Bears trade Justin Fields, draft Caleb Williams in this full seven-round mock draft
    The 2024 NFL Combine has come to a close. Many thought Justin Fields would be traded by now. That isn't the case, but it does seem like it is just a matter of time as multiple reports have the Chicago Bears trading Fields and drafting Caleb Williams or another high-end quarterback prospect.

    Rob and Justin put their GM hats on and ran a full seven-round mock draft. After trading Justin Fields to the Atlanta Falcons, the guys settled on Caleb Williams with the first-overall pick. Multiple trades later and Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears have some serious ammunition to use at the top of the draft.

    In fact, they end up with five picks in the top 55. How did you like the outcome of the 2024 NFL Draft? Personally, I am not a fan of the outcome. Hopefully, after free agency, we will have an even better idea of what Ryan Poles will have in his back pocket when entering the 2024 NFL Draft and what the Bears will need.

  • Chicago Bears bring back Jaylon Johnson and sign important free agents in this mock offseason
    We are less than a month away from the start of free agency. In this mock offseason, the Chicago Bears find a way to bring back Jaylon Johnson before he explores free agency. It might be on the franchise tag but a deal is on the horizon.

    Rob, Justin, and Bob rank every position on the Chicago Bears roster and determine which areas are considered must-fill positions in either free agency, the 2024 NFL Draft, or both.

    Next, the guys put their Ryan Poles hats on and become the general manager of the Bears in a mock free-agency period. Although big names are important and discussed, how many are realistic options for this team? After cutting Eddie Jackson and Cody Whitehair, the Chicago Bears have the third-most salary cap space to work with at roughly $70 million.

  • Is Eddie Jackson done in Chicago?!?! | Chicago Bears safety sends cryptic messages on social media
    The writing has been on the wall for the last two years, but it appears that Eddie Jackson is officially done in Chicago. The Chicago Bears free safety went to social media and posted a couple of cryptic tweets that insinuated he was not going to be on the Bears' roster in 2024.

    For the last two years, Eddie Jackson was considered a possible cap casualty. He is now going to be owed $18 million in 2024 and it makes sense that Ryan Poles is going to move on from Jackson.

    Rob discusses the salary cap ramifications of cutting Jackson. He also talks about how replacing him is going to be more difficult than many fans think. He goes over some of Jackson's stats and although it is the right decision, too many fans are hating on the former superstar.

  • S3E75 | Chicago Bears rumored in multiple trades for the first pick | Are expectations realistic?
    The quarterback debate continues among analysts and fans as the Chicago Bears continue their evaluations of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and others ahead of the NFL Combine.

    Ryan Poles loves to run through offseason mock drafts and other offseason scenarios. He now needs to start considering hypothetical 2024 NFL Draft trade scenarios and determine what trade packages he'd actually accept to move down from the first-overall pick. Caleb Williams (or Drake Maye) may be the answer for the Chicago Bears, and Poles might not be willing to move on from the top pick in the draft. It's also possible he receives what many consider a haul and cannot stand pat.

    Rob and Justin play out what the Chicago Bears would likely receive should the Commanders try to trade up from 2 to 1 now that Kliff Kingsbury is the offensive coordinator. Next, they look at what the Patriots might offer to move from 3 to 1. Finally, they discuss how much more would need to be involved should Poles trade down from 1 to somewhere outside of the top 5 and then again outside of the top 10.

    Whether you believe in Justin Fields or you want Caleb Williams to be the next quarterback of the Chicago Bears, it is important to understand that even with Williams being the top-prize target, the expectations of Bears fans seem highly unrealistic.

  • S3E74 | Did Ryan Poles get it right with the Shane Waldron hire as OC? | Now what to do with Justin Fields?
    The Chicago Bears have announced that they are hiring Shane Waldron to be their next offensive coordinator. This news broke AFTER our recording, but was he one of the top candidates? Did Ryan Pace and Matt Eberflus make the right hire?

    The Halas Huddle welcomes Bob Weiss back for this episode as Rob, Justin and Bob give their top three offensive coordinator candidates and discuss who they have on their "Do Not Hire" list! Where did Shane Waldron fit in? Then, Ryan Poles is visited by three spirits to help him decide what path he should take regarding Justin Fields.

    Should Fields remain as the starting quarterback in 2024 or should the team move on from him and draft Caleb Williams? Could Justin Fields be the answer for 2024 knowing that he does not necessarily need to be the guy going forward? Trading the first-overall pick could land a huge draft haul that could set the Chicago Bears up for a new quarterback in 2025 or 2026 should Fields fail to develop.

    Finally, is Justin Fields the future, franchise quarterback of this team? The locker room seems to believe in him. Is Ryan Pace willing to blow up the Bears' locker room continuity or should he run it back with Fields as the starting quarterback now and into the future?

  • S2E73 | Chicago Bears FIRE Matt Eberflus | Justin Fields is done in this mini mock offseason
    This is Part 2 of a Chicago Bears mini mock offseason. The Bears are facing the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17 with less than a 1% chance at making the playoffs. With help, the Bears could sneak into the playoffs this year or at least have something to play for in Week 18.

    Ryan Poles needs to make a decision about Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields. They are not necessarily connected but in this mock offseason Ryan Poles decides to move on from both Fields and Eberflus despite recent speculation by NFL insider Ian Rapoport about Eberflus returning.

    Justin and Rob put their Ryan Poles hats on and go through free agency and two rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. Should the Chicago Bears stick with Justin Fields or draft Caleb Williams? What about Drake Maye or Marvin Harrison, Jr.? Wouldn't you love one of Olu Fashanu or Joe Alt at left tackle? The opportunities are endless.

  • S2E72 | The Chicago Bears keep Justin Fields and Matt Eberflus in mini mock offseason | 2024 mock draft
    The Chicago Bears are likely to keep Ryan Poles as their general manager heading into the 2024 offseason. However, Poles has some serious decisions to make about the future of the Bears organization.

    Poles needs to decide if the recent wins are enough to keep Matt Eberflus around beyond 2023. As it stands, he's only won nine games in just less than two years. However, the team's recent success on defense and their ability to put wins together might be enough to sway Poles into keeping Eberflus around.

    Poles also needs to decide on what to do with Justin Fields. The team will likely own the first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft thanks to the Panthers. Will Poles trade the pick for a haul or draft a new quarterback like Caleb Williams or Drake Maye?

    In this Part 1 of a 2-part series, Rob and Justin put on their GM hats and do a quick rundown of what the 2024 offseason could look like should the Chicago Bears keep both Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields. Either way, Luke Getsy has to go.

  • S2E71 | The Chicago Bears are 'In the Hunt' | Montez Sweat Effect | What draft picks will Bears finish with?
    Do not look now, but the Chicago Bears are officially in the hunt for the 2023 NFL playoffs. Matt Eberflus has helped rally the team to a 5-4 record over the last nine weeks. This includes the team's first back-to-back wins under Eberflus and two wins over the NFC North.

    Ryan Poles has helped turn things around with his trade for Montez Sweat. Sweat has helped transform this defense from a bottom-feeder to nearly elite. With the Chicago Bears current winning streak coupled with their weak schedule over the next four games, it is possible that the Bears win out, leading to a 9-8 finish.

    That record could actually be good enough for the Bears to sneak into the playoffs. Depending on how far Justin Fields and DJ Moore help push this team, their recent success could negatively affect their 2024 NFL Draft pick. Just how low will the team likely drop?

  • S2E70 | This narrative about Justin Fields fumbles needs to come to an end Chicago Bears fans
    One of the main arguments I hear from anyone discussing Justin Fields as the Chicago Bears quarterback is that he fumbles the ball too much. Although he has proven to have an issue with holding onto the ball, that doesn't mean anything without the full context.

    Rob tracked all of Fields' fumbles to find out just how negative of an impact they had on the game. I knew there would be some misrepresentations or even ones that weren't negative at all. Come check out how negative Justin Fields fumbles were for the Chicago Bears. When you look at how many were not losses, or some that were even positive plays, the number drops drastically from 35 to a more respectable number.

  • S2E69 | The Chicago Bears are a complete mess with more questions than answers
    The Chicago Bears found a way to beat the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football despite not scoring a single touchdown. What kind of win is that? The Bears need to learn how to win, but this was so ugly that it's hard to get too excited.

    The positive is that Justin Fields finally found a way to lead a fourth-quarter winning drive, but Luke Getsy definitely had him handcuffed in this game.

    The screen passes by the Chicago Bears were out of control and Fields nearly fumbled the win away -- twice! Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles may have tipped their hands a bit, but the jury seems to still be out on Justin Fields, Matt Eberflus and Luke Getsy. This whole situation is a complete mess and dumpster fire. What to do? What to do?
