Please excuse any tardiness. I’m a fan with a job, etc., doing this in my free time.

- Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love grew up in Chicago. Jarrett Payton asked him a question at Super Bowl media night, and Love recalled a memory of Jarrett talking to his Pee Wee football team around the age of 9. (video via Jarrett Payton @paytonsun on Instagram/ @paytonsun.bsky.social)

- New episode of 1920 Football Drive 👇
- Jay Glazer says Maxx Crosby is likely leaving the Raiders. Schefter reported back at the trade deadline that the Bears inquired about Myles Garrett. If/when Crosby is on the market, probably a safe bet the Bears would also have some interest, depending on the Raiders’ asking price of course.
- A star was born
- Devin Hester, 19 years ago today
- TreVeyon Henderson thought he was getting picked by the Bears, and then his heart sunk when the caller said they were the Patriots (via CHGO)
- Shonny showin out

- Jonathan Jones: The Bears requested to interview Bengals WR coach Troy Walters for their offensive coordinator position but he declined, source tells NFL on CBS. Walters, who's had multiple OC looks the last few years, will stay in Cincy with hopes to win with one of the best units in football.
- Rapoport: The #Bears have requested to interview Connor Senger for their offensive coordinator position, source said. Senger is Arizona’s pass game specialist and called plays in last week’s East-West Shrine Bowl. He interviewed for the Bills and Packers QB jobs last weekend.

- Cole Kmet on the reality of vets on the team potentially being traded
- Regarding Trapilo's injury, one thing I haven't seen discussed yet is moving Darnell Wright to LT. RTs are generally easier to find and less expensive than LTs. Last offseason, Ryan Poles said "[Wright] clearly has the ability to play left and right... That was part of the value in [drafting him]."
- Kevin Byard III and Nahshon Wright went on a Pro Bowl scavenger hunt
- Bears coaches will convene next week to discuss their evaluation of the current roster, according to Brad Biggs. Bears will have to make some moves after that to create cap space, prior to March 11 free agency. Overthecap is probably your best resource for possible cuts, trades, and restructures:

- Names being floated by reporters as potential next Bears OC: Tanner Engstrand, Press Taylor, JT Barrett, Antwaan Randle El. I'd also keep in mind Ben Johnson intentionally hired quite a few coaches last year that he didn't have a history with to create a mix of perspectives, including Doyle.
