29:27

Khalil Herbert is a popular pick as a player on the bubble entering Chicago Bears training camp, but you shouldn't expect him to get cut our traded this preseason.

The Chicago Bears have a capable backup quarterback in Tyson Bagent, but they don't have any veterans behind Caleb Williams with the kind of experience that a rookie can rely on for guidance. Some decent free agent QBs are still available, and they could be an upgrade over what the Bears have in Brett Rypien, who seems to be their new veteran of ch…

The Chicago Bears are relying on defensive tackle Gervon Dexter to be their top interior pass rusher this season, but history tells us players at his position are rarely ready to make a big jump in year two.
