That will do it. Here are some early thoughts on all 7 of the Bears draft picks, including the team's final of the 2026 draft: Georgia Tech DT Jordan van den Berg.

Kevin Warren and George McCaskey said the Bears are still appealing the NFL's decision to not give them compensatory picks for Ian Cunningham's departure. They expect an answer soon. McCaskey, Warren and GM Ryan Poles visited with commissioner Roger Goodell in New York City and stated the team's case to receive comp picks based on their belief that Cunningham's departure/hire as GM in Atlanta fulfills Rooney Rule obligations that should net Chicago 2 compensatory third round picks.

If you see Bears coach Ben Johnson around town in Chicago, it's time to stop telling him how great the 2025 season was. It's time to move on. He's on to 2026.

And he's got work to do.

His message from the NFL annual meeting in Phoenix:

[Jarrett Payton @paytonsun]

Every time I watch this run, I still ask myself… how?

My pops wasn’t from this planet.

[Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo]

No comp picks for the #Bears for Ian Cunningham to the #Falcons as GM. Cunningham and Chicago felt they should’ve gotten them for a minority hire but the NFL clearly feels Matt Ryan’s presence as president of football over Cunningham nixed that.

[Jarrett Payton @paytonsun]

Wow… didn’t see that one coming. This definitely shifts the mindset even more when it comes to the O-line. Much respect to Drew Dalman..,go enjoy the next chapter, my man. #Bears

[Adam Hoge @AdamHoge]

Still not over this ball placement 🤯

The Packers took away Caleb's ability to roll right, so he went left and made the throw of the @ChicagoBears season.

We have activated Kyler Gordon from IR and elevated Nikola Kalinic and Jalen Reeves-Maybin from the practice squad

[Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears]

Congrats to our three AP All-Pro selections! 👏

[Brad Biggs @BradBiggs]

#Bears have until 3 pm Saturday to make a roster move for CB Kyler Gordon and return him to the 53-man roster from injured reserve.

The club is only carrying 52 players on the roster right now so a corresponding transaction is not necessary.

Expect Gordon to play Saturday.

[Courtney Cronin @CourtneyRCronin]

Jaylon Johnson played 72 of 73 snaps vs. Detroit, his highest snap total since returning in Week 12 from core muscle surgery.

He's been honest throughout the last 2 months that he's not at 100% nor will he be until he has ample time to recover/train.

Johnson: "I’m not going to get back to my full self until I get a full off-season to really attack my body head to toe and not being in having to prepare or a game where I can just really take all the time I need to get my body back together. But right now I’m just as best as as I’m going to get out of it."

Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham has been on the radar of nearly every team seeking to fill a GM post the past 3 years. With Chicago's success this season, will he finally get his shot this cycle? https://t.co/QuiiItkc1A
