Chicago Bears Central
The Chicago Bears’ 2026 NFL Draft conversation is still heating up 🔥🐻⬇️
Ben Johnson finally explained why the Bears selected Stanford tight end Sam Roush in the third round — and it gives a major clue about what Chicago wants this offense to become. Roush brings toughness, physicality, and elite blocking ability, making him a strong fit for Johnson’s love of heavier personnel and a more physical run game.
But that’s not the only Bears storyline today.
Chicago has also been named a possible fit for veteran free agents Taylor Decker and Cameron Jordan, two players with obvious connections to the coaching staff. Decker has history with Ben Johnson, while Jordan has a long-standing connection to Dennis Allen. The problem? The Bears’ cap situation could make both moves difficult.
Plus, draft expert Matt Miller gave major praise to three Bears picks: Dillon Thieneman, Malik Muhammad, and Keyshaun Elliott. Thieneman was viewed as a major first-round value, Muhammad was praised as a possible steal, and Elliott was highlighted as another best-player-available selection.
Haize breaks down:
The Bears may be done drafting, but the roster conversation is far from over.
