Thomas Brown, whom the NFL Players Association deemed the league’s second-best offensive coordinator in a poll of its players earlier this month, is close to joining the Bears as a passing game coordinator, a source confirmed Tuesday night.
Brown would be the most high-profile Bears addition of the offseason; he interviewed with the Panthers for their head coaching job earlier this month and with the Texans for the same job last year.
He spent 2023 as the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, calling plays for part of the season.
