The Chicago Bears are sitting at 4-9 heading into the final stretch of the 2021 season, where their season is all but over, even despite slim playoff odds.
But things are going to get interesting once the offseason begins, where there’s a lot of change expected to happen. Bears head coach Matt Nagy is expected to be on his way out, and there’s a possibility that general manager Ryan Pace could join him.
