Chicago Bears

By Jeff Fisher Your Bears were fresh off a Super Bowl season. They headed into the offseason with a lame duck head coach signed only through the upcoming season. National pundits and fans were outraged at the possibility that the first coach to take the Bears to the Super Bowl in 20+ years could actually wal...

By BY MIKE MULLIGAN mmulligan@suntimes.com Bears general manager Jerry Angelo, the man with the plan, feels your pain. He admires your fanaticism. He shares your obsession.

By BY BRAD BIGGS bbiggs@suntimes.com In a sign of how difficult things have become in the Bears' world, the beleaguered team stunned a network giant Wednesday by rejecting NBC's request for prime-time access to coach Lovie Smith, quarterback Jay Cutler and general manager Jerry Angelo.

By Josh Herman So Jerry Angelo, let's say goodbye to Lovie and his traditionalism and Ron Turner and his inept ability to call every wrong play in the book and let's say hello to a guy with true Chicago grittiness and the ability to get the most out of his running game.

By Jeff Hughes That means Ted Phillips.  Jerry Angelo.  Lovie Smith.  Ron Turner.  The guy who parks the cars at Soldier Field.  I want them all fired.  Because I'm beginning to think that the 2010 Chicago Bears are not going to be better than the 2007-2009 Bears.  They have plummeted from the heights of a Super B...

By Doug Farrar In the end, that may be the big problem. General Manager Jerry Angelo hasn't drafted a defensive standout -- or even a reliable starter -- since 2006, when he brought in Danieal Manning(notes), Devin Hester(notes), Dusty Dvoracek(notes), and Mark Anderson(notes) (though sixth-round...

By Dane Noble Of all of our managers/ coaches, I would say that Lovie and Ron are falling victims to lack of talent.  Jerry Angelo has to be the guy that is on the line here. When contemplating Smith's future replacement, whenever that search begins, remember the words from Angelo himself when he hired Smi...

By Benjy Lipsman AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh Just five games into his tenure, Bears GM Jerry Angelo rewarded quarterback Jay Cutler with a two-year, $30 million contract extension. The deal includes about $20 million in guaranteed money. Already under contact through 2011, the team now holds Cutler's rights thro...

By ChiFan13 Chicago Sun-Times Chicago Tribune Jerry Angelo said that Adewale Ogunleye is still part of the Bears' future. Steve Rosenbloom: The Bears are experts at choking. Mike Imrem: It's unlikely that the Bears can tutor Jay Cutler. ESPN Chicago Jerry Angelo talks about his new toy (Gaines Adams).

By Jeff Hughes Because the problems this club faces are not physical.  It's not about talent.  It's about not acting like fucking morons.  Not throwing the ball to the other team.  Not fumbling in the red zone.  Not jumping before the ball is snapped.  If Jerry Angelo and the folks at Halas Hall don't have the co...

A year ago, the likelihood of the Bears making a bold play for a franchise quarterback was the kind of thing Steve Rosenbloom mocked in the Tribune. A year ago, we wouldn't waste our space imploring Jerry Angelo to sacrifice drafts for Anquan Boldin or begging him to over-spend on Torry Holt....

By Benjy Lipsman In a move that stunned all Bears fans, GM Jerry Angelo managed to land quarterback Jay Cutler just one day after Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen officially declared they were shopping the disgruntled QB. Some are saying that a man known for who he didn't sign or trade for just consummated th...

Jerry Angelo: We did view John as a starter and wanted him back. We felt very good about our chances of re-signing John, recognizing his value to our team. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. John did a fine job for us and we wish him well. JH: We only have one quarterback. We have one receiver. Our def...

By Brad Biggs If general manager Jerry Angelo has done one thing well in the draft, it's find defensive backs in the later rounds. Nathan Vasher, Chris Harris, Kevin Payne, Corey Graham and Todd Johnson were all selected in the fourth round... Nathan Vasher, Chris Harris, Kevin Payne, Corey Graham and Tod...

What's happened so far: Defensive backs coach Steve Wilks has been fired, and defensive line coach Brick Haley reportedly is set to join the staff at Louisiana State. Marinelli, a close friend of coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jerry Angelo, has visited the Bears' facility and repo...

By WCG I think Rashied Davis is the best in the slot. Yes! Do you think Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith are on the hot seat?  Would a deep run in the playoffs take them off? Speaking of the division, looking at Minnesota.  Is Tavaris Jackson just that bad? 

By Paul Johnson Bears GM Jerry Angelo got about as fired up as he has ever gotten Sunday when he lambasted the media for their criticism of the Bears over first-round draft pick Chris Williams' back injury. But before he goes off on the media for letting the Bears have it for essentially drafting damaged goo...

The standoff between Lance Briggs and the Bears took another turn Saturday, when GM Jerry Angelo said he wants the linebacker to return next season but a multiyear deal is unlikely.
