Bears Linked To BIG Free Agents… But Can They Actually Do It?! | Ben Johnson Explains Roush Pick

About this episode

The episode discusses the Chicago Bears' draft picks and potential free agent signings, highlighting key players and coaching connections.

The Chicago Bears’ 2026 NFL Draft conversation is still heating up 🔥🐻⬇️ Ben Johnson finally explained why the Bears selected Stanford tight end Sam Roush in the third round — and it gives a major clue about what Chicago wants this offense to become. Roush brings toughness, physicality, and elite blocking ability, making him a strong fit for Johnson’s love of heavier personnel and a more physical run game. But that’s not the only Bears storyline today. Chicago has also been named a possible fit for veteran free agents Taylor Decker and Cameron Jordan , two players with obvious connections to the coaching staff. Decker has history with Ben Johnson, while Jordan has a long-standing connection to Dennis Allen. The problem? The Bears’ cap situation could make both moves difficult. Plus, draft expert Matt Miller gave major praise to three Bears picks: Dillon Thieneman, Malik Muhammad, and Keyshaun Elliott . Thieneman was viewed as a major first-round value, Muhammad was praised as a possible steal, and Elliott was highlighted as another best-player-available selection. Haize breaks down: Why Ben Johnson wanted Sam Roush How Roush fits with Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet Taylor Decker…
