Bears coach Ben Johnson discussed his team's defense and in it left out one important player when it came to a critical area.

New Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has set a higher bar for players, emphasizing accountability and discipline as part of his new culture, as seen in the presence of four players who sat front row during his opening statement.

In an appearance on the CHGO Bears Podcast, ESPN's Field Yates revealed that he is expecting Kansas City Chiefs star right guard Trey Smith — a 2024 Pro Bowl selection — will become a "true-blue free agent" and hit the open market in March despite his strong play for the Chiefs over the past four seasons.
