Now it's on you, Jay - Jeff Fedotin: The hallmark of the Bears — that defense — has aged and is bound to slip. The Bears knew this was coming; with his offensive pieces in place, it's time for Jay Cutler to step up.
Draft preview - Kip Lewis: Is Te'o a good fit in Chicago? Jason Cole: Still not worth of a first round pick?

Draft preview - Vaughn McClure: After acquiring pass-catching TE Martellus Bennett in free agency, Notre Dame standout Tyler Eifert might not stand out to Bears.
Jason Campbell signs with Browns - Fred Greetham: Veteran signed for 2 years, is expected to compete with Brandon Weeden for the starting position. Bob LeGere: Could ex-Bear be Cutler's backup?
Lewis knew when to quit; other big-name veterans finding out - Jason La Canfora: The new-CBA, flat salary cap market is harsh for faded greats like Brian Urlacher and James Harrison.
