Marcedes Lewis

Those who have played in Chicago and Green Bay have done so for lots of reasons, but most say joining the enemy felt strange.

Through three weeks, the Bears rank 31st in rushing and 30th in total yards while Williams has a passing rating of 65.3 and a QBR of 26.8.

Under general manager Ryan Poles, the Bears roster has improved considerably over three years.

The Bears wrapped up their offseason training program. Next up for Williams? Summer break, but he'll still find time to work.

As Bears players cleaned out their lockers, they sounded hopeful about the future and supportive of coach Matt Eberflus.

Lewis will complete his 18th NFL season Sunday. He reflected on that achievement and what's ahead.

It didn't mean much in the standings, but Bears veterans say an effort like Sunday's means a lot in the locker room.

Practice began with a fracas, Fields had a more efficient day, and we heard from GM Ryan Poles and met new tight end Lewis.

Green Bay's offense will lose two captains (and plenty of leadership) if Rodgers and Marcedes Lewis leave the team this offseason.

Trading Rodgers is their first priority, but the Packers have been quietly busy on other moves and have other positions to address.

You won't find any players in the Packers' locker room more beloved and respected than 37-year-old tight end Marcedes Lewis.

"You're just in a different prime now," Davante Adams told Lewis, who still can make plays in the passing game and is a ferocious blocker.

Green Bay re-signed the 36-year-old tight end on Wednesday for two years and $8 million in no small part due to his locker-room presence.

After a quiet first day of free agency, the Packers can make some noise by completing a couple important items on their agenda.

Jones and Linsley top the order in which the Packers should prioritize their 12 impending unrestricted free agents next month.

Tonyan caught 60 passes for 668 yards (11.1 avg.) and 12 touchdowns.

How will the Packers handle running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams? What about center Corey Linsley?

OC Nathaniel Hackett, TE Marcedes Lewis, RB Tyler Ervin and WR Allen Lazard were previously in Jacksonville.
