Now that we've gone over the Bears' draft, it's time to look ahead to the summer and training Camp—where veterans will try to hold onto their jobs and rookies (and younger players in general) will struggle to take them over.There are no guarantees—after all, NFL stands for "Not For Long." Few players are untouchable.It's early and much may shift between now and July camps.Let's take a look at which positions might be up for grabs and who will...  

The Chicago Bears win the NFC North led by their twin tower wide receivers Brandon Marshall and rookie Alshon Jeffery.There is a better chance you hear that if Jeffery is the Bears' No. 2 wide receiver instead of Devin Hester or Johnny Knox.The Bears have not had a legitimate receiving core for years. The last time they had a receiver with 1,000 yards was Marty Booker in 2002.Here are three reasons why Jeffery will win the No. 2 receiver spot...  

Chicago Bears wide receivers coach Darryl Drake on Sunday defended Devin Hester's role in the offense after the team drafted South Carolina wideout Alshon Jeffery in the second round of the NFL draft, according to ESPN Chicago. "I promise you ...  

The Bears followed up Thursday's acquisition of Shea McClellin with trading up for a receiver in Alshon Jeffery and drafting a player who didn't play during the season but has everything the team looks for in a prototypical free safety. So far, I haven't really had many misgivings about how the draft has gone. When I hear Emery explain his picks, he seems to have legitimate football reasoning behind why he makes his selections...  

The Chicago Bears selected defensive end Shea McClellin out of Boise State with the 19th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft so that he could compete with incumbent defensive end Israel Idonije. With Julius Peppers holding down the opposite defensive end position, this will be a competition worth watching.McClellin had an extremely productive collegiate career for the Broncos at linebacker, racking up 130 tackles, 20.5 sacks, four interceptions...  

Chicago Bears offensive coordinator, Mike Tice, has announced that the Bears will employ a series of plays referred to as the "Devin Package" in 2012. Seemingly, the presence of these plays indicates that Devin Hester will no longer be an every-down receiver. It's about time.  

Over the last few seasons, Johnny Knox has been the Chicago Bears' most consistent wide receiver. However, like his counterpart Devin Hester, Knox has been asked to shoulder the load of being a top receiver the last few years. Knox is a good --sometimes ...  

The Bears could be a hard team to stop on returns this upcoming year. Don't forget recently signed WR Devin Thomas carries a 24.1 ypr career average on his resume. This season could potentially be one of the best for coach Dave Toub's special teams unit.  

The Chicago Bears have made a lot of impressive moves during the off-season. They fired Jerry Angelo and replaced him with Phil Emery. Most of the comments I received on my articles about the Bears pertained to the dismissal of Angelo. Now that his departure is a reality, I'm sure a lot of fans are ecstatic for that reason alone. The Bears also acquired three-time Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins. Not only does this...  

The Miami Dolphins have had an up and down offseason and one of the moves that they made which is still subject to debate is the trading of Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears. By doing so they leave themselves with little to no big name recognition in the wide receiver core, but being a huge fan of the Dolphins I think 2012 will prove that the Miami Dolphins have big talent at the receiver position and that some of them will break out and...  

In a time when the league seems more concerned with reporting high school-age drama than actual sporting news, it should come as no surprise that about half of the headlines found today have concerned the Chicago Bears, Matt Forte, or both. Occasionally, Brian Urlacher's willingness to test free agency came up too.  

A gorgeous spring day was the setting for the Bears’ offseason team activities Wednesday — the second of three helmeted, no-pads practice sessions this week — and praise-singing season was in full bloom at Halas Hall.  

One of the early positive elements of the Chicago Bears' workouts, perhaps even an epiphany of sorts to some coaches, has been the performance of tailback Michael Bush as a receiver.  

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher said in a radio interview Friday he is considering testing the free-agent market after this season.  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract with defensive tackle Nate Collins.
