Chicago Bears need Montez Sweat to build on ‘the best year of his career’ after standing pat at DE

Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson felt that defensive end Montez Sweat was making a big impact on the field last season. In the aftermath of a surprise run to the NFC divisional round, Johnson thought his star pass rusher had done a good job creating pressure and being a disruptor against the run. Then Johnson turned on the tape to rewatch everything his football team did last season. With regard to Sweat, there was no letdown on film.

Chicago Bears stadium saga: A timeline of key events, from Arlington Heights to Hammond Original

|
By Sean Hammond 
| Chicago Tribune
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The Chicago Bears announced last week that their board of directors voted to proceed with stadium plans in Hammond. The announcement came less than a week after the Illinois legislature adjourned its spring session without taking up a last-ditch Senate bill that could’ve given the Bears a path to a new stadium in Arlington Heights or Chicago. But a move to northwest Indiana is far from a done deal.

Logan Jones is the Chicago Bears’ center of the future. So how soon will he be the starter?

The Iowa Hawkeyes needed a center. Tyler Linderbaum was gone, selected 25th by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2022 NFL draft. Iowa had a void to fill and coach Kirk Ferentz had an idea. What if the Hawkeyes turned to defensive tackle Logan Jones, a redshirt freshman from Council Bluffs, Iowa, who played both ways in high school and had some experience at center? Offensive line coach George Barnett knew Jones as the defensive lineman whose name was all over the record board in the team weight room.

The Bears will play at least seven standalone games for national audiences this season. The NFL released its full slate of 272 games Thursday night. While the Bears avoided having to face the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in the season opener, they were selected for numerous marquee windows - including both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
