    The Chicago Bears want their draft picks for Ian Cunningham

    0:00 George McCaskey audio 12:10 Bears comp picks 18:10 Kirk Cousins 29:00 Kyle Brandt After the NFL informed the Chicago Bears that they would not receive any compensatory draft picks following the Atlanta Falcons’ hiring of Ian Cunningham as general manager, the Bears have once again appealed to the league office for the picks they believe they deserve. A decision from Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected soon. Bears chairman George McCaskey met with the media yesterday and addressed questions surrounding a potential new stadium deal, with Arlington Heights and Hammond, Indiana, both remaining possibilities. McCaskey said the McCaskey family would take on all the financial risk of a new stadium, noting they would need to borrow the approximately $2 billion they have said they are willing to contribute to the project. Around the NFL, Kirk Cousins has a new home, signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. Looking ahead to the draft, NFL.com’s Nick Shook has the Bears selecting Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor with the 25th pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. And finally, Kyle Brandt shared his commentary on the recently released NFL coaches photo, and it was nothing short of hysterical. #chicagobears #bears #chicago #chicagosports #calebwilliams #sportstalk Make sure to subscribe to... ✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered ✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈 ✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀 All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Ben Johnson - "uncertainty" at left tackle | What's wrong with Kevin O'Connell? New Mock Drafts

    0:00 Ben Johnson 10:22 AJ Brown 13:50 Minnesota Vikings 22:35 Rams 25:45 Mock Drafts At the NFL league meetings, NFC coaches gathered for their annual breakfast, where Ben Johnson addressed two key areas of concern for the Bears: dropped passes by the wide receivers and ongoing uncertainty at left tackle. With the NFL Draft just weeks away, all eyes are on how Chicago plans to address those needs. One thing feels clear—the Bears are in a better place than several NFC rivals. They’re not dealing with off‑field or locker‑room issues like the Rams with Puka Nacua, the Eagles and A.J. Brown, or the Vikings’ unsettled quarterback room. We react to what Kevin O’Connell had to say about Minnesota’s QB situation—and why his comments didn’t inspire much confidence. Plus, new mock drafts are out, and we take a look at what experts are projecting for the Bears and how those picks could shape the future of the roster. #chicagobears #bears #chicago #chicagosports #calebwilliams #sportstalk Make sure to subscribe to... ✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered ✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈 ✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀 All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
