- After a record-setting season, #Bears have agreed to terms with K Cairo Santos on a $16M, 5-year contract with a max value of $17.5M. Final 2 years of deal are voidable so it's really a $9M, 3-year deal with max value of $11M. No more kicker carousel.
- #Bears are hiring Ben Johnson as the next head coach a source confirms. @AdamSchefter reported it. The franchise lands the hottest offensive coordinator in this cycle, a coach charged with building a system around QB Caleb Williams.
