The Chicago Bears have finally decided to release former first-round draft pick Tommie Harris.
Harris came out of Oklahoma as a dominant lineman who could stuff the run and rush the passer.

Harris was fined more than 12 times by the organization for various reasons, and he also didn’t perform on the field. (more…)

The Chicago Bears have given head coach Lovie Smith a two-year contract extension after guiding them to the NFC North title.

In his short time with the Bears, Smith has guided the Bears to two NFC championship appearances and one Super Bowl appearance. (more…)
