Earlier this week, I asked you guys to give a letter grade for the Chicago Bears’ first week of free agency, and you were overwhelmingly positive, with 67% voting A and 30% voting B. But considering that WCG is mostly Bears fans, I wasn’t surprised by the high marks. Our fans are energized by head coach Ben Johnson, and Chicago’s sudden emphasis on the trenches was a shot of adrenalin. The Bears still have some work to do, but there’s a professional bunch of linemen manning both sides of the ball now.
So, while our fans cast most of the votes in the aforementioned poll, NFL fans of all 32 teams chimed in on this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, which was emailed to fans. The Bears again came out on top by a hefty margin, with 30% of fans voting that Chicago had the best free agency period.

There are no offseason banners to hang, but with high marks from not only all the fans but also various local and national media outlets, it’s nice to see so many believing the Bears are on track to be relevant as a franchise.
Fingers crossed that winning this offseason will pay more dividends than the last time.
