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.
As one former #Bears staffer just texted following the news of Virginia Halas McCaskey's death, "Glad they beat the Packers for her last game. Divine."
#Bears RG Kyle Long has agreed to a restructured contract that will create some cap room and ensure he's with the team in 2019. He was due to count $8.5M vs. cap this year. Team player will be back.
#Bears at #Commanders in Week 8 - on Oct. 27 - has been moved to 3:25 pm (from noon) with the CBS crew of Jim Nantz & Tony Romo on the call.
So, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, impressive rookie quarterbacks, will be in the spotlight for a huge national TV audience.
