There’s only so much that can be gleaned from what new Bears coach Ben Johnson says. It’ll be far more insightful to see what he does.
He already has revealed some of his intentions through massive moves in the offseason, and his plan will come into focus as the team gets rolling in training camp, which opens July 23.
Johnson has been on the job nearly six months already and has gone deep into analyzing the roster. No matter what he has said about every position being an open competition, it probably isn’t. He likely has an idea going into camp of how he wants to stack his depth chart, and it’ll be up to the players to reinforce it or change his mind.
