Episode Details

The Chicago Bears’ post-draft storylines are heating up 🔥🐻⬇️

The Bears are reportedly bringing in former Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scott Miller for a tryout, adding another name to a wide receiver room that already includes Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Kalif Raymond, and rookie Zavion Thomas. Miller also has interest from the Detroit Lions, making this an NFC North roster battle to watch.

We also break down why the Bears landed inside the top 10 in post-draft power rankings, with optimism growing around Caleb Williams, the rebuilt secondary, and a young offense that could take another leap in 2026.

But the biggest conversation may be about accountability.

Bears fans have been quick to blame Ryan Poles for questionable draft picks, but if Ben Johnson helped shape those offensive selections, should he be getting the same scrutiny? Haize breaks down why the GM and head coach are tied together — if one fails, both fail; if one succeeds, both succeed.

Plus, we discuss why Dillon Thieneman may be the Bears rookie with the biggest Year 1 impact as he steps into a reshaped secondary alongside Coby Bryant.
