The Chicago Bears hype is getting louder heading into the 2026 NFL season, and Haize breaks down why this could be a defining year for Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, Ryan Poles, and the entire Bears roster. 🐻🔥
On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, we discuss NFL analyst Jason La Canfora predicting Ben Johnson to win Coach of the Year, why some believe the Bears could compete for the top seed in the NFC, and what Caleb Williams must do to move from “borderline star” to true elite quarterback status.
Haize also reacts to the Bears receiving a B+ offseason grade, including the DJ Moore trade, the Logan Jones selection, the Garrett Bradbury move after Drew Dalman’s retirement, and the major secondary changes with Coby Bryant and Dillon Thieneman. Plus, could the Bears make a bold trade-deadline move for Josh Sweat to boost the pass rush opposite Montez Sweat?
