The Chicago Bears made several announcements on Wednesday afternoon as they laid out their schedule for the next few months before training camp kicks off in Bourbonnais in July.
Here are a couple of the key dates that fans should keep in mind:

There was one player who was particularly excited about the announcements about OTAs and mini-camp, as he has been tweeting all offseason long about his workout habits:
“@ZachZaidman: #Bears announce rookie minicamp will take place May 16-18. Mandatory veteran minicamp will be held June 17-19.” WOOOO — Kyle (@Ky1eLong) February 12, 2014
