Silvy: The Bears made a mistake in extending Poles’ contractJul 17, 2025 6:00 am - What has Bears general manager Ryan Poles done to earn a contract extension well before his current deal was set to expire?

Silvy: Bears need to get their new stadium right, even if it means taking their timeJun 05, 2025 6:00 am - We’ve discussed the “if” part of a new Bears stadium for a few years and I’m not sure we’re any closer to it becoming a reality.

Silvy: Williams needs some tough love to teach him how to work in the NFLMay 08, 2025 6:00 am - Ryan Poles claimed at the combine that Caleb Williams has a great work ethic but needed to learn the difference of how to work in an NFL week as opposed to a college football week. My question is, why wasn’t this addressed in season? Why didn’t Poles have someone fix it in real time?

Silvy: The offseason is done, now Bears have to show they can succeed on the fieldMay 01, 2025 6:00 am - The day new coach Ben Johnson walked into the Bears facility, he told the staff that it was time to get to work and he hasn’t backed down since. Every time the new head coach has spoken, he has sent messages that his staff is conducting business differently, and that’s a good thing.

Silvy: These Bears draft scenarios would make me very happyApr 24, 2025 6:00 am - For the past several months I’ve been asked by friends, acquaintances, and strangers what I want the Bears to do at No. 10 in the NFL draft. My response is always “get it right.”
