Episode Notes
On this LIVE episode of Hoge & Jahns, we take a temperature check on the Bears after a wave of roster changes. With veterans like Kevin Byard, Nahshon Wright, DJ Moore, Tremaine Edmunds and Drew Dalman heading out the door, the roster looks very different — and only one-quarter of the Bears’ 2025 Pro Bowlers remain. Are the Bears truly improving, or do they still need a major move like Maxx Crosby to elevate the defense? Hoge & Jahns break down the Bears key additions and they’ll revisit lingering concerns from last season — including left tackle, pass rush, and whether the Bears’ “draft and develop” philosophy is working. Later in the show we’re joined by Jesse Merrick of the Silver & Black Sports Network to discuss the Raiders’ aggressive spending, the Maxx Crosby conversation, and what it could mean for Chicago.
