Windy City Gridiron

That’s not to say fans should have expected them to be. This was clearly a retooling year, setting things up for a rebuilt roster for a new regime in 2023 and beyond. While there’s still plenty of an NFL season left to play, as Windy City Gridiron’s Lead Draft Analyst who provides little of value during the season, my eyes are always looking towards the future. I’ve done mock offseasons before, but I’m unbelievably excited for the Bears’ 2023 offseason, so I’m doing one way too early. Is it because football is my escape from the cruel trap that is being trapped with my own thoughts? Maybe. I mean, no. Definitely not. You’re not my psychiatrist. Unless my psychiatrist is reading this, in which case, I think this is proof that I need an uptick in medication. You know the drill. I’ll run a few projected trades, make some free agent signings and cuts, and then I’ll wrap things up with a 7-round mock draft to get to my 53-man roster. I’m writing this introduction last, and it’s late at night, so my brain is fried. Here is my way-too-early 2023 Bears mock offseason.
