Good morning, Bears fans!
It’s officially 100 days until the Bears open the season in Carolina on September 13. Which means we’ve got 100 days to get this newsletter fully armed and operational. That first kickoff will be here before we know it.
By the way, have you turned any of your Chicago stars blue? They’re down there to keep track of how many friends you’ve brought to Bears By 7. Just send your personal referral link out to fans you know will enjoy the newsletter as much as you do.

01 Stadium News
Bears met with Chicago at least six times in April
That’s the report from Crain’s Chicago Business reporter Justin Laurence, who FOIA’d the schedule of a top city attorney. Brandon Johnson says the talks included a new stadium, but the Bears say he’s overselling it. The team also said they met just once. So who’s telling the truth?
02 NFC North
Packers extend Christian Watson
Four-year deal worth $110.5 million with a $31 million signing bonus. As Brendan Sugrue points out, that’s the DJ Moore deal without DJ’s production/ability to stay on the field. Ah well, far be it from me to be worried about the Packers tying up money on a big question mark.
03 Media
Kyle Long joins ‘The NFL Today’ on CBS
Sweet gig for a good guy. Kyle will follow in his dad’s footsteps for the second time as he joins a Sunday morning pregame show. Russell Wilson is also joining the panel which already features James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher.
