The team will have 15 unrestricted free agents, a group that includes three of the four players remaining from the 2010 team that won Super Bowl XLV: right tackle Bryan Bulaga, kicker Mason Crosby and cornerback Tramon Williams.

Whether it was justified or not, there was optimism that the offensive line could be a strength of the Bears in 2019. Instead, it was a problem all season long.

Nearly 30 percent of Ryan Pace's draft picks thus far as Bears general manager were spent on prospects who attended Mobile for Senior Bowl week.

In the end, the message was clear. The Packers made great strides this season under first-year coach Matt LaFleur and showed they can compete with every other team in the NFC, but they're not in the 49ers' league. Not yet, anyway. 

With the Green Bay defense failing to lay a hand on 49ers running back Raheem Mostert for much of the first half and the Aaron Rodgers-led offense committing two turnovers and failing to convert a third down yet again during a scoreless first 30 minutes, the Packers dug themselves a 27-0 halftime deficit on their way to a demoralizing 37-20 loss.

Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know how many more years he has left, and he doesn’t know how many more times he’ll be within one victory of the Super Bowl. But the Packers' 36-year-old, two-time NFL MVP quarterback does know this: The 2019 season meant a lot to him.

San Francisco simply outmuscled Green Bay in its 37-8 win in November. If that happens again this very interesting Packers season will come to a sudden end.

The Packers are one win away from a berth in Super Bowl LIV in large part because of the moves general manager Brian Gutekunst has made, both large and small.

The Packers defense has been stout since being picked apart by the 49ers in a 37-8 rout in November.

Okay, so, the Bears did more than a little housekeeping, the offensive side of the Bears coaching staff has been almost completely rebuilt.

The Bears aren’t in bad shape at wide receiver. In fact, if Anthony Miller makes a complete recovery from his second straight offseason surgery on his left shoulder and picks up exactly where he left off this season, along with Allen Robinson the Bea…

New coaches, a new spot for training camp, Hub Arkush and Arthur Arkush break it down on the latest episode of our podcast.

The Packers' trip to San Francisco with a Super Bowl berth on the line is treated as all business.

At age 36 and nine years removed from his last trip, Aaron Rodgers seemed amused Wednesday that many of his younger teammates have taken up a win-one-for-the-old-guy mantra on his behalf.

Bears Insider takes a spin around the division leading up to conference title weekend:CHICAGO BEARS:…

He's a Wisconsin legend, an NFL superstar, and the main reason the Packers are in the playoffs again. But Aaron Rodgers is in the headlines for more than just his quarterbacking prowess. Here are 12 times (see what we did there?) Rodgers made news off the field in the last 2 years.

The record-breaking 2018 Chiefs offense showed up last weekend at Arrowhead, where Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Co. became the first team in NFL playoff history to win a game by 20 points after trailing by at least the same margin.

The Bears shipped out Jordan Howard for a sixth-rounder, welcomed in top pick David Montgomery for third- and fourth-rounders and markedly declined running the ball in 2019.

Veteran Jared Veldheer started in place of the ill Bryan Bulaga at right tackle and did well in the divisional playoff victory against the Seahawks.

On Jan. 3, 1999, in the playoffs after the 1998 season, the Packers were robbed of a win by a blown call clearly visible on replay — before replay was used by the NFL on  such plays.

The Bears announced Tuesday that they'll hold their training camp this year at newly renovated Halas Hall, following 18 consecutive summers at Olivet Nazerene University in Bourbonnais.

While their QB position and Mitch Trubisky in particular are two of the hottest buttons in Chicago Sports today, believe it or not it is not the Bears' greatest need this offseason.

“I’d like to think that we’ve improved throughout the course of the season, especially the last six weeks,” said Packers coach Matt LaFleur, whose team is 6-0 since the 37-8 loss to the 49ers on Nov. 24.

The Bears are expected to hire Bill Lazor as their new offensive coordinator, replacing Mark Helfrich, who was one of three offensive assistants fired by Matt Nagy following the team's four-win regression to 8-8 last season.

The next generational signal caller like Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson isn’t walking through the doors of Halas Hall any time soon, but what about the next Ryan Tannehill?

Elusive Russell Wilson was outstanding in leading Seattle's second-half comeback from an 18-point deficit, but it was Aaron Rodgers who ruled the day with a superlative effort that showed he is still the king among NFC quarterbacks.

The 36-year-old Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are now one victory away from a Super Bowl LIV berth, thanks to a 28-23 victory over the never-give-up Seattle Seahawks Sunday night at Lambeau Field.

In the aftermath of the Packers’ 28-23 NFC Divisional playoff victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night at Lambeau Field, Aaron Rodgers acknowledged that his connection with Davante Adams has reached a new level.

State Journal columnist Tom Oates grades the Green Bay Packers' performance in their 28-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC playoffs Sunday night at Lambeau Field.

Get the latest analysis, injury reports and highlights as the Green Bay Packers take on the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC divisional playoff matchup Sunday night at Lambeau Field.

Veteran cornerback Tramon Williams had 41 tackles, one tackle for a loss, two interceptions, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and 11 pass break-ups during the regular season.

If the Packers are indeed a championship contender, they'll have to start playing like it Sunday vs. the Seahawks.

Team takes no solace in the fact Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has an 0-3 record in Green Bay.

The award — named for Tom Mulhern, a former Wisconsin State Journal reporter who died in 2014 from complications caused by Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease — is given annually to the player or players voted to have shown “exemplary professionalism in helping pro football writers covering the Green Bay Packers do their jobs.”

Facing a critical offseason for the current regime and, subsequently, the franchise’s trajectory after a four-win regression in 2019, the Bears have plenty of needs but not a plethora of resources with which to address them.

The Packers enter Sunday’s NFC Divisional playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field with 31 of the 52 players on their roster having never played in an NFL postseason game.

The Bears named 15-year NFL coaching veteran Clancy Barone as their new tight ends coach Thursday, a little more than a week after Matt Nagy fired four members of his staff, including previous TE coach Kevin Gilbride.
