One of the biggest stories in the Bears’ off-season was Tank Johnson’s jail sentence. In December of 2006, Johnson came under increased scrutiny after police entered his house in Gurnee, Illinois, and found several guns and weapon paraphernalia.[3] The situation was further complicated when Johnson’s friend, William Posey, was murdered the following evening while defending Johnson at a nightclub. On March 15, 2007, a judge in Skokie, Illinois sentenced Johnson to a 120 days in jail and fined him $2,500 dollars.[4] Johnson is expected to miss a portion of the Bears’ preseason, and possibly face an additional suspension from the NFL when he returns.[5] Terry Tank Johnson (born December 7, 1981) is an American footballplayer for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. ...

Additionally, controversy ensued between the Bears’ management and Lance Briggs. Only weeks after losing Super Bowl XLI, the Bears placed a franchise tag worth nearly $7.2 million dollars on the Pro Bowl caliber linebacker, keeping him with the team for another year.[6] Briggs became unhappy with the action and voiced his anger on The Mike North Morning Show.[7] He even went as far to claim he no longer wanted to be a member of the Bears, a statement he later reiterated nationally on FoxSports.com.[8] Despite Briggs' remarks, the Bears have stated that they plan to keep him with the organization for the 2007 season.[9] The Washington Redskins offered to exchange first round draft picks with the Bears in exchange for Briggs.[10] Angelo deferred the offer on April 3,[11] but later stated they were interested in negotiating another deal the following day.[12] Lance Briggs (born November 12, 1980 in Sacramento, California) is an American football linebacker who plays for the Chicago Bears. ...

The team traded running back Thomas Jones to the New York Jets and their second round (63rd overall) pick for the Jets' second round (37th overall) pick in the 2007 NFL Draft.[13] In addition to the loss of Jones, Todd Johnson, Cameron Worrell, and Justin Gage left the Bears for other teams later.[14][15] In order to fill the void, the Bears acquired strong safety Adam Archuleta from the Washington Redskins, in exchange for their sixth round draft pick.[16] They also signed former Redskins' kicker Nick Novak to backup Robbie Gould.[17] Defensive tackle Anthony Adams also was signed to further bolster the Bears' defensive line, following the departures of Alfonso Boone and Ian Scott[18][19] Shortly after the 2007 NFL Draft, the Bears acquired quarterback Chris Leak, who had previously led the Florida Gators to a BCS Championship title.[20] High school running back A running back, halfback, tailback or wingback is the position of a player on an American and Canadian football team who lines up in the offensive backfield. ...

It has nothing to do with that. We want to keep this the best possible football team that we can.

The Bears’ coaching staff also saw significant changes during the off season.

[26] Eventually, five assistant coaches, including quarterback’s coach Wade Wilson, would leave the Bears for other teams.[27] The team worked out a contract extension with Lovie Smith, which extended his contract for four years to 2011. Smith will make a total of $22 million dollars during the course of the deal.[28] Jerry Angelo, the team’s general manager, also signed a six-year deal on the same day.[29] The Bears billed Pep Hamilton of the San Francisco 49ers as their new quarterback coach, and Charles London of Duke University as the team’s offensive quality control coach.[30] Ron (Chico) Rivera (born January 7, 1962 in Fort Ord, California) is the first American of Puerto Rican descent to play in the NFL (National Football League). ...
