The Chicago Bears head into the offseason with two glaring needs: left tackle and defensive end — but which one should come first?

With rookie quarterback Caleb Williams entering a critical stage of his development, protecting the blind side is more important than ever. A true franchise left tackle could stabilize the offense and allow Ben Johnson's system to fully take shape.

At the same time, the Bears' defense still lacks a game-changing defensive end — the type of pass rusher who can consistently generate pressure, close games, and alter outcomes in high-leverage moments.

In this episode of The Windy City Breeze, we break down the LT vs DE debate, how each position impacts winning in today's NFL, and how free agency and the NFL Draft could shape the Bears' offseason priorities. We also discuss how Chicago's offensive direction and defensive identity factor into which move should come first.

Plus, we touch on: • The Bill Belichick Hall of Fame debate • Todd Monken's reported move to Cleveland • Ian Cunningham's potential exit to Atlanta

If you had to choose ONE — left tackle or defensive end — which should the Bears prioritize this offseason?

coaching staff and offense are starting to collide.

The Baltimore Ravens have officially requested permission to speak with Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, raising important questions about offensive continuity and stability as Chicago continues building around its young core under head coach Ben Johnson. How real is the threat of losing Doyle, and what would it mean for the Bears' offensive direction moving forward?

At the same time, former Dolphins Associate Head Coach and running backs coach Eric Studesville has emerged as a name to watch for Chicago's vacant RB coach position, per Brad Biggs. Studesville brings previous experience with the Bears along with a strong working relationship with Ben Johnson from their time together in Miami. Is this a natural fit for Chicago's evolving offense?

We also react to former Bears assistant Antwaan Randle El publicly defending DJ Moore, pushing back on recent criticism and reinforcing Moore's importance as both a leader and playmaker in the Bears locker room. What does this say about the perception of Moore around the league and inside the building?

We break down what all of this latest Chicago Bears news means for the coaching staff, offensive structure, and locker-room chemistry as the Bears navigate a critical offseason with big expectations ahead.
