Walter Payton. I loved watching him as I was growing up. I fell in love with the run game so much so that when the Bears would pass the ball, I always felt that Walter was being cheated out of his contribution 😄. My more recent favorite player was Mike Brown (if you can call him recent). He was a great player, made a lot of great plays and brought a lot of leadership to the defensive backfield. Even listening to his teammates talk about him you get the realization of the respect they had for him. Listen to Brian Urlacher talk about him, he still says that Mike Brown was the smartest football player he knew.
Obviously everyone's favorite former Chicago Bear is Walter Payton. There will be a few stragglers who say the fridge, Brian Urlacher, maybe if you're really old you say Sid Luckman. I started watching in 2013 so I didn't get to see any of those legends. Which means there's also not anybody who stands out as my all-time favorite. On a purely personal level, I absolutely loved Tarik Cohen at his peak, especially because he was such a small guy doing so well at a physically demanding position. But Brandon Marshall comes close. His IRL controversies make it hard for me to see he's my favorite, but he was such an awesome WR even when injured, who took on leadership when Jay Cutler was being lazy. Plus he was on my first fantasy team, along with Matt Forte and Martellus Bennet.
I appreciate your honesty. Back in the late 1970's and 1980's Da Bears became a violent defensive team nomatter how bad the offense was. Which eventually became the phrase Monsters of the midway!!! Watch some of the Bears vs Green Bay games in the mid 1980's. They were always blood baths !!
I'd like to know what decent Oline men are available for depth, which we don't have. I'm sick of hearing about edge rushers. If we lose someone on the line we are going to have problems!
Agreed. I've mentioned on several occasions that while our starting OL seems to have really improved, we still lack quality depth, and in this league you need depth.
Surprised DeAndre Houston-Carson isn't on this list as a candidate for return, being he's technically off the Bears roster. Not sure of his latest update, it's possible he recently signed on with another team. But I always thought he was a helluva sub at Safety and was arguably our best player on STs.
I, 100%, have him signing with us. I think he's testing the market and not liking that teams don't view him as a starter yet; he comes back as a rotational backup on a one year deal and has a solid year.
Why do people think we're not signing free agents? We're contractually obligated to get at least 17 million off the books, up to 32 million, and that's not coming in the form of extensions. That's at least two free agents at minimum, probably more knowing Poles. And there's plenty of room on this roster for even five free agents.
That's not necessarily true (I do believe we're signing a free agent or trading) but you can front end some extensions to apply some salary cap towards this year and help with the back end of those contracts, and I'm totally in favor of doing that now so the Fields huge extension that's coming won't kill us.
@adammason492 We're not extending anyone. Not a single player on this team has proven that they're a sure enough thing to justify extension before the season begins. Everyone on this team has bust potential, even if some are much less than others. Certainly I wouldn't consider extending Claypool or Mooney, I'm hoping they're not on this team next year. Kmet looks really good but I need more proof before I'm ready to sacrifice the option of signing another free agent. Also, we're a pretty average team right now. If we don't sign any free agents we will really struggle to make the playoffs.
Only one then Quinn - would bring back Hicks too, Jason Peters- yes please, Pittsburgh does it, why not tap football minds and keep Quinn and Peters as consultants
Love Hicks but he was getting hurt, I attribute that to age. Would like to see him in a coaching role. I do miss him just don't want to see him get injured.
@@andrebryant5081 either you are not a BEARS FAN, or you don't know shit about football. We have at least 6 edge rushers obviously you haven't watched any tape on them. If one guy gets injured on the O line, we don't have a decent player to put in = JF1 running for his life again!!
And, by the way, this team is MUCH improved from last year already. You think if they're not a BIG name player, they aren't good, remember, the big name didn't become a Big name until he was introduced to the NFL
My Favorite ex🐻 is Mike Singletary l think Ryan Poles should hire him Seriously as one of our LB Coaches for our 🐻's team he played for our team l think he would be great 🔥 power force to our Monsters of the Midway Grizzly 🐻's team that's what l would do for our team just my thoughts 'LFG' let's get it 🐻⬇️ AmenRa'

You guys are good but could be much better. If you are talking about Robert Quinn.. why wouldn't you talk about who we drafted with the pick we traded for him? It's like you'd rather talk about erectile dysfunction over news that people are actually interested in.
My ideal rest of this offseason; it's a stretch, but would instantly make us contenders: - Trade Rasheem Green, Kindle Vildor, and 2024 2nd round pick to Washington for Chase Young. We immediately extend him 3 years through 2026 and front end it with a signing bonus of $7.5 MM in 2023 against this year's salary cap. - Give Cole Kmet, Darnell Mooney, and Jaylon Johnson each a 3 year extension and front end them as well to count against this year's cap. - Sign DeAndre Houston-Carson to a 1 year $2 Million contract after he tests the market and returns for a year as a solid rotational/backup - Cut Cario Santos to free up some more space, Andrea Schmitz has a stronger leg anyways - Sign Taylor Lewan for 2 years $21 MM and midseason we cut Cody Whitehair or Lucas Patrick to save a little space. Lewan has been injured but gives depth at our weakest position and provides more experience and knowledge than any other tackle on the market could provide. - Sign the very best waiver available after cuts start, regardless of position (almost any position). Use that #1 waiver while we have it and build some depth That, to me, is an ideal rest of this offseason. It leaves us with plenty of cap space still to have some carry over into next year and adds depth at the most important positions that we're lacking (DE, OT, S)

We can get a day 3 draft pick in return for him. I'm not opposed to trading him for value. If we're going to cut him, I say no, he's a quality backup at best
Inga Terrell Davis, that’s win, winner, formula, the onion at the corner doubles in the drive towards the end college student I’m talking about that’s on your team so d do that k? So do some to make it work will to get it right k hun?😊
Quinn, Hicks, Peters, are we talking about coaches or what? Certainly not as players… And when the hell did vildor become a solid player… ??? Did Ryan Pace crawl into your head?? Hahaha… I know news is slow right now… but content like this is useless… I’ll tune back in after the season starts… or something real happens…

Without a doubt........Walter Payton !!! " SWEETNESS"

Sweetness (Walter Payton)
Mongo McMichael !
Devon Hester
Payton offense Singeltary on defense loved his intense stare
GO BEARS 🧡💙🏈🐻⬇️🙌🏾

My favorite player is Robbie Gould!
The Ultraback - Raymont Harris!!
Walter Payton on offense and Dan Hampton on defense
Love Sweetness, I was to young to fully appreciate him though so I have to go with Urlacher!!
Favorite Former Bear ….. Dick Butkus !!!
Robert Quinn is good every other year look at a sack totals. Out of 5 Quinn is the pick
Surprised DeAndre Houston-Carson isn't on this list as a candidate for return, being he's technically off the Bears roster.

@@Beardownsports I hope you're right. To me he belongs on the Bears.
Different regime and long ago but they brought in Mack like 6 days before the season opener. They could absolutely still sign people
Why do people think we're not signing free agents? We're contractually obligated to get at least 17 million off the books, up to 32 million, and that's not coming in the form of extensions.

Poles will sign a few more guys. He’s keeping his cards close to his chest
@@thomasdaly5903 In Poles We Trust 🐻
You still got to make it still huh?
Only one then Quinn - would bring back Hicks too, Jason Peters- yes please, Pittsburgh does it, why not tap football minds and keep Quinn and Peters as consultants
Because in a rebuild you need every one of those 53 man roster spots
Butkus
Favorite ex bear Khalil Mack.
bring back jay cutler 💪
I’d have all these players come back it wouldn’t hurt
Butkus! The King of Bears!
Quinn would kill it on this defense
Sign Gould, Quinn and Floyd for cheap two year deals and be done with it 🐻⬇️
RQ....but if possible I'd sign both guys...
Would you sign Jason Peters? Type ‘S’ for Sign or ‘P’ for Pass
P
P
P
P. Only reason to sign is to add veteran mentorship
P
Bring One Back! Type ‘RQ’ for Robert Quinn or ‘AH’ for Akiem Hicks
This is the odd year for Quinn so he should be good for 10 + sacks !!! Sign him on a one year deal minimum !!!
Nope
Both🎉
RQ
Neither!!!
Love Hicks but he was getting hurt, I attribute that to age. Would like to see him in a coaching role. I do miss him just don't want to see him get injured.
Akiem Hicks was amazing for the Bears.
Without him in the lineup, Khalil Mack was not nearly as productive.
Harrison keeps you up-to-date with everything Chicago Bears on Twitter: twitter.com/hgrahamnfl
Gayle Sayers on offense and Dick Butkus on defense. I’m old school (and old).
NO to all 5... We need TC camp to start quick because these stories are just filled with so much fan fiction.
I say wail till roster cuts and try to pu edge then, if not then FA.
What say you?
Bring them all for vet min
Bears division champs
Given what those people have left in the tank how about Red Grange as a back up running back
Let's bring back Quinn and Sign JJ watt or Frank Clark 💪💪
No, no and ummmmm 🤔 NO
Hard pass on all of these guys. Give younger guys a chance and draft next year
Jason Peters really Harrison? He's 41 his best days are long gone
No need to follow ESPN on TH-cam. Check out Chat Sports for full NFL coverage instead: th-cam.com/users/chatsportstv
Akim Hicks
There is NO obligation to spend All the cap, anything over the cap floor gets devided between the players
Yea if you want the team to not improve after being the worst team in the league

I read a report the the bears are trading for Jacobs and Crosby. Harrison has to know something about this
Every time a channel puts out a "what if" doesn't mean it's a report. There's absolutely no legs to the Bears trading for either Jacobs or Crosby 🙄
RQ & S!
Robbie Gold.
Larry borom should have been cut a long time ago
We need to pick up a solid tackle; DE, T, and S and I'm feeling better heading into the year
Lance Briggs 💥💥💥
Kyle Orton
This franchise is moving forward why would we be going backwards
Underrated comment. Needs to be the highlighted comment on this whole thread 👍
You need playmakers. Young guy’s can be but most times you have to wait a year. Quinn is fifth in pressures. Our whole line may get that.
@@shawmathews4393 nobody's saying we don't sign someone, but nobody in this list is the answer. Moving forward...
You guys are good but could be much better. If you are talking about Robert Quinn.. why wouldn't you talk about who we drafted with the pick we traded for him? It's like you'd rather talk about erectile dysfunction over news that people are actually interested in.
Bring back Brian Urlacher please
😂😂😂😂Jason Peters? Isn't he on social security?? I would bet my kids that Poles AINT signin a 41 yr. old player in any position.!!
My ideal rest of this offseason; it's a stretch, but would instantly make us contenders:
