The Chicago Bears are taking significant steps forward after a disappointing 2024 season that ended with a 5-12 record. New head coach Ben Johnson, formerly the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, is expected to breathe new life into the team's offense and help quarterback Caleb Williams find his footing. With the Bears holding three picks in the top 41 of the upcoming NFL draft and ample cap space, they are poised to make impactful changes this offseason.

Key players like wide receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Marcedes Lewis are facing uncertain futures, while the team aims to shore up glaring weaknesses on both offensive and defensive fronts. The offensive line is particularly crucial, having allowed Williams to be sacked a league-high 68 times in his rookie campaign. Johnson’s innovative play-calling will be essential for the Bears to maximize their potential in 2025.
