What's Going On Chicago‪?‬ Bryan Cocallas

The NFL has released the schedule for the upcoming season!  With all the major changes the Bears have made, can they make the playoffs?  Training camp hasn't happened, and final acquisitions have yet to come, but everyone is making their own predictions for this very tough NFC North Division. 

The Chicago White Sox have a long season ahead of themselves.  However, the Northside Cubs are sitting at number 1 in the division, and might be in the perfect spot for when the All-Star break comes in July.  With over a month until that time, both teams have some things to work on.  The season is so long that even the last place White Sox could make a push for the playoffs, but if you consider making that bet you might want to wait.

Not a lot of surprises in the NFL Draft, but a lot of excitment.  Ryan Poles, and the Bears organization, might have altered the course of this 100+ years-old football team!  Let's break it all down!

Chicago has finally answered the great Justin Fields question, and sent him to Pittsburg!  The Bears did the right thing to make him a Steeler, and give him a home where he wanted to go.  GM Ryan Poles might have been able to get more, however, it seemed he did what was best for Fields, and not for draft capital.  Now the only question is, who will the Bears draft?  With the number one pick in the draft, there are plethra of QB's available.  When QB's are drafted, they walk into a tough situtation.  The Bears look like they are set up to start winning off the bat.  Will it be Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, or someone else?  Most seem to think it will be Williams the Bears choose, but if Poles has taught us anything, he is not the most predictable GM in the NFL.

The Bears sign Free Agent D'Andre Swift to take over as the starting running back, Jaylon Johnson gets his contract, and Kevin Byard signs two year contract to take over as starting Free Safety.  The Cubs and Sox are getting ready for the season to begin.  The Chicago Bulls have a 5 game stretch where they could win all of them, to get ready for the playoffs.  And the Blackhawks are just ready for the season to end.

The Chicago Bears made a trade for Ryan Bates to help their offensive line.  As the Bears lose yet another draft pick for Bates, one wonders if the Bears might have a bigger haul in Free Agency this year.  As the new NFL year begins on March 13 at 3:00PM, there are some valuable players that are looking for new homes.
