Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson is steadily building his staff, adding new coaches by the day. Here’s our grade on his hires so far.

Johnson is a home-run hire for the Bears, but general manager Ryan Poles has plenty of work to do with this roster, between free agency and the 2025 NFL draft, to elevate this team. But it helps that Chicago has the resource to do just that with the fifth-most salary cap space and four picks in the Top 75 of the NFL draft.

As Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson builds his staff and evaluates the roster, we look at positives, issues and questions with the current state of the offense.

The Chicago Bears hired head coach Ben Johnson with the idea that he would solve their offensive woes and develop quarterback Caleb Williams. Johnson turned around and hired 28-year-old Declan Doyle away from his duties as the Denver Broncos tight ends coach to be the Bears offensive coordinator.

Those in the NFL tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that the Chicago Bears are a team to watch in the free agency bidding war for Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith.

The Chicago Bears' 2025 offseason will center around second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and new coach Ben Johnson as the duo attempts to become the franchise's best-ever QB-head coach tandem. Earning that distinction won’t come easy.
