Description: The first day of NFL free agency has been a busy one for the Bears — but mostly off the field. David Haugh and Dan Wiederer break it all down. The team did bring in a pair of new players (so far) in running back D'Andre Swift and safety Kevin Byard. What do the guys think of the moves? How many more are still to come? The bigger news is the Bears are now claiming that they're shifting their focus for a new stadium location to Chicago's lakefront, close to where Soldier Field is currently. They're also saying they plan to invest $2 billion in private money. What happened to Arlington Heights? Is this all a ploy to get tax breaks?!? Finally, star cornerback Jaylon Johnson spoke to the media for the first time since signing his lucrative contract extension and offered up some vulnerabilities that we've rarely heard athletes discuss.
