Poles & Ben Johnson Speak at Combine… Biggest Draft Combine Needs
About this episode
The Chicago Bears are officially in NFL Combine mode.
Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson meet with the media on Feb. 24, and while they won’t reveal their full offseason blueprint, there could be key clues about Chicago’s priorities heading into free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft.
Major questions loom:
• Is left tackle the Bears’ top offseason priority after Ozzy Trapilo’s injury?
• Can Chicago address BOTH defensive line and offensive line?
• Will Pro Bowl CB Nahshon Wright return?
• Is former Chiefs edge rusher Mike Danna now on Ryan Poles’ radar?
• Are the Bears preparing to go all-in for a Super Bowl run?
With Chicago coming off an 11-6 season and NFC North title, this offseason is about sustaining success — not rebuilding.
The 2026 season is championship or bust.
