Two weeks ago, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that McCarthy "could set his sights on Chicago." It was apparently mutual after the Bears requested an interview with McCarthy while he was still under contract by the Cowboys, who denied the request.

A new report sheds light on troubling judgment calls by Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, raising questions about his readiness to become an NFL head coach.

Mike Florio speculated that the Chicago Bears might have to part ways with Ryan Poles to land Ben Johnson as their head coach.
