Last week was a cataclysmic one for the Bears franchise. It opened with news that the Bears were pivoting their focus for a new stadium from Arlington Heights to the lakefront, although that situation remains fluid. That led to the start of free agency, which saw the Bears fill some holes before pulling off a massive trade for Los Angeles Chargers star wide receiver Keenan Allen. The week ended with the Bears closing the book on the Justin Fields era by trading the 25-year-old quarterback to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional 2025 sixth-round pick. With Allen in the fold and Fields no longer part of general manager Ryan Poles' long-term vision, the Bears' path in the 2024 NFL Draft has crystalized at the top, but there are a number of ways they can go after their selection at No. 1 overall.
