The framework of the Patriots' trade for AJ Brown has been in place for a bitwith a 2028 first-round pick as the centerpiece. The 2027 fifth-rounder thrown in will be the higher of the two New England has (they hold one from Chicago that was acquired for Garrett Bradbury).

The Bears have lost their running backs coach — Eric Bieniemy is returning to the Chiefs as their offensive coordinator. He’ll replace former offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who has interviewed for both head coaching and coordinator positions around the league.Bieniemy’s move was seen as likely after the Chiefs requested an interview with him on Monday. The Chiefs knew all about him already — he worked for head coach Andy Reid from 2013-17 as running backs coach and 2018-22 as offensive coordinator. Chiefs players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, have praised Bieniemy’s attitude over the years.Bieniemy joined Ben Johnson’s startup staff a year ago after a stint as UCLA’s offensive coordinator. He connected to the franchise through president/CEO Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles, with whom he worked in Minnesota and Kansas City, respectively.Monday, running back Kyle Monangai said Bieniemy “meant a lot” to him.“He kinda helped me to understand what it takes to be a great running back in this league and the amount of detail, the focus, the preparation and all those things,” he said.

The Bears signed 14 players to reserve/futures contracts Tuesday, two days after their season ended with a playoff loss to the Rams.Futures deals are contracts handed out to players not on the 53-man roster that take effect when the new league year begins in March.Among those signed to futures deals were running back Brittain Brown, who scored against the Bengals this year; tight end Nikola Kalinic, who played special teams in the Bears' two postseason games; and linebacker Nephi Sewell, whom th

Wide receiver Scotty Miller, the Barrington High School graduate who won a Super Bowl as a member of the 2020 Buccaneers, is trying out with the Bears during their rookie minicamp this weekend.Miller, who turns 29 on July 31, seemingly has an opportunity — Kalif Raymond is the only proven receiver the Bears added to team with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. Miller has more than 11 catches in a season only once in the past five seasons, though. He caught nine balls for 62 yards in 13 games with the Steelers last year.He spent his first four seasons with the Bucs, followed by one with the Falcons and two with the Steelers. He played only 27 special teams downs over the past two years.He played for Bears receivers coach Antwaan Randle El, then a Bucs assistant, in 2020."There's some shared experiences," Bears coach Bears Johnson said Friday morning.Also Friday, the Bears announced that they’d signed their bottom four draft picks — receiver Zavion Thomas, cornerback Malik Muhammad, linebacker Keyshaun Elliott and defensive lineman Jordan van den Berg — to standard four-year rookie contracts.The Bears also announced the signing of 13 undrafted free agents: Wyoming offensive lineman Caden Barnett, Kennesaw State running back Coleman Bennett, Tulane running back KC Eziomune, Georgia longsnapper Beau Gardner, Michigan State wide receiver Omari Kelly, Utah offensive lineman Jaren Kump, Iowa tight end Hayden Large, Wake Forest defensive lineman Jayden Loving, Louisville quarterback Miller Moss, Auburn offensive lineman Mason Murphy, San Diego State kicker Gabriel Plascencia, Oregon State defensive back Skyler Thomas and Florida State wide receiver Squirrel White.

When the two were in Detroit together, Ben Johnson would let receiver Kalif Raymond in on the occasional secret. He’d show Raymond and play and tell him exactly how an opponent two weeks into the future would play it."He’ll blurt something out, like, ‘Yeah, watch this. This same play … watch this in two weeks. ...’" Raymond said Tuesday after the Bears' first of three mandatory minicamp practices. "He’s like, ‘I already know what this safety is going to do two weeks from now. ... I

Wow: New Bears WR Kalif Raymond chose to sign with Chicago in free agency over the Lions to play in Ben Johnson's offense.I wanted to play in Ben's offense. He's extraordinarily creative, and honestly, you can be in any spot on the offense, and he will find a way to get you the ball. Just to be under him is a great privilege.Detroit football has not been the same without him.

Wide receiver Kalif Raymond's choice about where to play in 2026 came down to a pair of familiar options.
