The Chicago Bears will focus much of their attention in NFL free agency on the offensive line, and one veteran is expected to rank near the top of their wish list.

As Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson builds his staff and evaluates the roster, we look at positives, issues and questions with the current state of the offense.

Johnson is a home-run hire for the Bears, but general manager Ryan Poles has plenty of work to do with this roster, between free agency and the 2025 NFL draft, to elevate this team. But it helps that Chicago has the resource to do just that with the fifth-most salary cap space and four picks in the Top 75 of the NFL draft.

Former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has accepted the Chicago Bears head coaching position. Now we know when he'll officially be under contract.

Ben Johnson understands how special Chicago is as a sports town, and he's determined to bring the Bears back to their winning ways.

The new head coach of the Chicago Bears had a busy weekend building up his coaching staff, and Bears fans have plenty of reasons to like what he's done so far.

The Chicago Bears hired head coach Ben Johnson with the idea that he would solve their offensive woes and develop quarterback Caleb Williams. Johnson turned around and hired 28-year-old Declan Doyle away from his duties as the Denver Broncos tight ends coach to be the Bears offensive coordinator.

Allen will get a firsthand look at Johnson’s magic and process as a member of the Chicago Bears’ coaching staff. Johnson’s offense beat Allen’s defense that day. The Lions quickly jumped out to a 21-point lead in the first quarter before holding off a Saints rally for a 33-28 win.

The Chicago Bears have already made a major splash in their offseason when they hired Ben Johnson as their new head coach. The former Lions offensive coordinator was rated as the lead head coaching candidate for teams that needed new sideline bosses and the Bears were able to secure his services shortly after Detroit's season came to an end.
