Roger Goodell weighed in this week on the Bears’ ongoing stadium saga, saying the team needs to “find a solution” and get something done “relatively soon”—a sentiment Bears fans everywhere would likely agree with. We break down what Goodell’s comments could mean and where things stand with Chicago’s stadium future.

Elsewhere around the league, the Rooney Rule is coming under scrutiny as Florida Attorney General Jeff Uthmeier examines its implications. The NFL’s competition committee has also approved two new rules that would go into effect this upcoming season in the event replacement officials are used, with the current officials’ CBA set to expire on May 31.

Plus, the annual NFL head coaches' photo has been released—and yes, it’s absolutely worth a look.

As Ben Johnson’s rookie season as head coach delivers early success, the big question heading into Year 2 is whether this feels like past Bears seasons that flashed promise—or if the Ben Johnson era is genuinely different. We dive into how Ryan Poles’ long-term plan is shaping a defense built to match exactly what Dennis Allen wants and needs to succeed.

Plus, the ICEMAN trademark story takes an unexpected twist as we discover there was already a Chicago Bear with the nickname. We round out the show with our latest NFL Notes, going around the league and breaking down some of the top stories making headlines today.

25:45 Mock Drafts

At the NFL league meetings, NFC coaches gathered for their annual breakfast, where Ben Johnson addressed two key areas of concern for the Bears: dropped passes by the wide receivers and ongoing uncertainty at left tackle. With the NFL Draft just weeks away, all eyes are on how Chicago plans to address those needs.

One thing feels clear—the Bears are in a better place than several NFC rivals. They’re not dealing with off‑field or locker‑room issues like the Rams with Puka Nacua, the Eagles and A.J. Brown, or the Vikings’ unsettled quarterback room. We react to what Kevin O’Connell had to say about Minnesota’s QB situation—and why his comments didn’t inspire much confidence.

Plus, new mock drafts are out, and we take a look at what experts are projecting for the Bears and how those picks could shape the future of the roster.
