Bears' Offseason: Overhauling Defense for Next Season

On April 1st, Chicago Bears had a solid run in 2025, stacking up wins left and right, but

their defense was the clear Achilles heel, holding them back.

They topped the NFL with 33 takeaways, which sounds elite on paper, but they got torched

in past rush, coverage, and stopping the run, leaving big gaps everywhere.

Team brass, including GM Ryan Johnson, echoed what defensive coordinator DA pointed out during

recent self scouts. Top defenses don't need 11.

Stars, just two or three elite tone setters who lift the whole unit.

Now heading into the off season, overhauling that defense jumps straight to the top of

the priority list to fix those leaks.

Bears fans are hoping these moves turn the tide, building a squad that can dominate on

all fronts come next season.
