The Bears and Packers are two teams headed in somewhat different directions. The Bears revamped most of their coaching staff and, most importantly, landed a youthful and intuitive, offensive-minded coach in Matt Nagy. He went on to fill the staff with folks who would help orchestrate a new-age offense that the Bears have never seen before.
Following all of the coaching hires, Ryan Pace went to work in acquiring a multitude of talent. Adding guys to the receiving corps, tight end group and most notably the linebacker core, among other areas, Pace had by far his best offseason yet with the Bears.
