The "slow" part of a year-round league like the NFL's isn't exactly slow for a rebuilding team like the Chicago Bears.
Yet again the Bears find themselves in a position over a summer stretch where they're breaking in more than a handful of new faces as massive roster turnover continues.
It sounds hyperbolic, but this summer is more critical than those in recent years—this time the turnover centers on quarterback and premium spots like wideout and defensive back.
So, while other teams might coast through this part of the calendar as training camp approaches, it's big news for the Bears to hear about how new arrivals are adapting and how key rookies or other young pieces continue to prepare for a critical year.
