Every bit of Chicago Bears stadium news is a push for more leverage from both Indiana and Illinois, and we need to stop overreacting to each development. Plus, the Bears need to be proactive in continuing to invest in players for Ben Johnson's offense, without making major changes. - Subscribe to Locked On Bears on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXCnRo-iwMsS4iC1SobeGHA Follow @LockedOnB...

The Chicago Bears have plenty of needs to address this offseason, but the defensive line needs to be the top priority for Ryan Poles.

The Chicago Bears aren't ready to go all-in on Maxx Crosby. They can't afford to mortgage their future for the Raiders star pass rusher. If Las Vegas makes Crosby available, teams will get in a bidding war for him, and he's not worth the investment right now for the Bears. - Subscribe to Locked On Bears on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXCnRo-iwMsS4iC1SobeGHA Follow @LockedOnBears on T...
