Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson spoke to reporters at the NFL's annual meeting in Phoenix. This was Johnson's first time speaking to reporters since the team made significant changes, including the loss of key leaders such as DJ Moore, Tremaine Edmunds, and Kevin Byard. The Bears also added new players such as Garrett Bradury and Coby Bryant. Johnson stated that the team was prepared for Drew Dalman's retirement and that it was not a rash decision. The team is now focusing on the draft and returning to Halas Hall later this month.
