Windy City Gridiron

● By Jacob Infante
The Bears enter the 2025 NFL offseason with a new head coach and a newfound sense of optimism. Of course, Chicago fans are used to getting excited during the offseason, only for the regular season to not live up to their dreams of grandeur. But with the hire of Ben Johnson as the team’s head coach, there seems to be much more to be hopeful for than there was just a few months ago. After hiring one of the most highly-touted head coaching candidates of the last few years, the Bears find themselves with someone on staff who is proven as one of the best offensive play-callers in the NFL. They have a significant amount of cap space to work with, as well as three picks in the top 45 selections of the 2025 NFL Draft. You know how this all works by now. This is my latest 2025 Bears mock offseason, complete with free agent signings, draft picks, extensions, and a 53-man roster.
