The Chicago Bears and their fans have many reasons for optimism– even in the face of recent oddsmakers predictions of a not-much-improved record over last season. Chief among those reasons for optimism is the likely arrival of USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams, who many experts see as a true elite-level franchise quarterback. Chicago Bears Entering The Caleb Williams Era Adam Schein, Contributing Columnist for NFL.com, is one of those analysts enamored with what the talented 22-year-old brings to Chicago. He envisions the young man leading the Bears into a successful Cinderella season this year. Per Schein: “Caleb Williams isn’t…

The Chicago Bears can already be considered quite blessed with two first-round picks in April’s NFL Draft. They are especially blessed to have two picks within the top 10. To top off the good fortune, they currently have the overall no. 1 pick– a pick they are reportedly all but set to use on USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams, who many feel is one of two generational talents in this draft class. By the time Chicago gets to their second first-round selection — at ninth overall — they will still be able to choose an elite-level impact player. Could…

The Chicago Bears may have made some big moves this offseason, both via trade and via free agency, but oddsmakers, apparently, don’t believe those moves will amount to much of a difference in what the team accomplishes this season as opposed to last. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bears, who finished with a 7-10 record last season, are expected to notch just 8.5 wins this upcoming campaign. That’s not a very big difference for a team that will be looking very different and, according to many, should be vastly improved. Chicago Bears: Not That Much Improved? Needless to say, this…

The Chicago Bears will be drafting USC blue-chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their first-overall pick in April’s NFL draft– or, maybe not? There’s a growing feeling among some media experts and insiders that Williams to the Bears is not as much of a lock as others believe it to be. Some feel that Chicago could still very well trade away their top draft spot in exchange for a haul of talent, similar to the deal they made with the Carolina Panthers last year. Others even see the possibility that the team could keep their pick and select a quarterback…

The Chicago Bears, according to most experts and insiders, are almost guaranteed to draft USC blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their first-overall pick in April’s NFL Draft. To many observers, Williams could be a special one — a franchise quarterback who, despite not having yet played a down in the pros, is already being compared to legends such as Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, But there could be another incoming rookie quarterback with the potential to benefit the Bears greatly, even if the team has no intention of drafting him. That young man is Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy’s…

Chicago Bears star wide receiver DJ Moore recently appeared on the Mully & Haugh Show, on 670 The Score, and talked about a wide range of subjects, centering around the big changes made to the team this offseason. Quotes From DJ Moore on the Mully & Haugh Show On The Trade of Justin Fields “I didn’t see it coming, but it happened and that’s the business of it all…I know he’s going to continue to do good things over there in Pittsburgh and we’re just going to start over here with a new back…I’m looking forward to it” “I really…

The Chicago Bears may be bringing in USC’s blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their no. 1 pick in this April’s NFL draft, but that doesn’t mean Williams’ new teammates are going to treat him with kid gloves. In a recent appearance on Up and Adams with Kay Adams, all-pro cornerback Jayon Johnson, fresh off his signing of a four-year, $76 million contract extension, laid down the truth when it comes to what the inbound rookie won’t get away with in the Bears locker room. Chicago Bears Veterans vs. Caleb Williams? “You can’t bring that Hollywood stuff into the…

The Chicago Bears have settled their quarterback dilemma– apparently– with the trade of Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers and are set– again, apparently– to select USC blue chip quarterback prospect Caleb Williams with their overall no. 1 pick in April’s NFL draft. But, still, there are some draft-related issues that need to be addressed. First, there’s the question of who to choose with their other first-round pick (no. 9 overall). Perhaps, more importantly, there’s also the issue of having so few draft picks this year. Chicago Bears Could Add Draft Picks With These Two Trades After trades, the Bears…

The Chicago Bears front office was bashed mercilessly in the wake of Saturday’s Justin Fields trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And, on paper, it was tough to defend them against the attacks. Chicago sent their 25-year-old quarterback and former first-round pick Fields to the Steelers for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2025 (that could turn into a fourth-round pick if Fields plays 51% of the offensive snaps this coming season). That’s, almost literally, nothing. The Value of Making The Fields Trade But there may be more value to this trade than what’s merely acquired on paper. It’s been argued…

Caleb Williams would be best served pulling an Eli Manning and refusing to be drafted by the Chicago Bears in April’s NFL draft. Those are the impactful words of former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III in a video offering the blue chip quarterback prospect from USC some career advice. Chicago Not the Right Team For Caleb? Per Twitter/X video, Griffin had this to say: “Caleb Williams should pull an Eli Manning and demand that the Chicago Bears do not draft him no. 1 overall. After everything that’s happened with just Justin Fields, can Caleb Williams really look at that and…
