The Bears seem to be taking full advantage of a sneaky offseason move and it's going to pay off in a big way for QB Caleb Williams

The Chicago Bears are smack in the middle of organized team activities and quarterback Caleb Williams has been all over the headlines, whether it's warranted or not, and it has nothing to do with what he's doing on the field.

All these headlines are about Seth Wickersham's new book, which features excerpts from Williams and his father, that are over a year old, before he was even drafted by the Bears last April.

Williams and his father, rightfully, had concerns about playing in Chicago under the previous staff. Concerns that came true when said staff members were fired by the end of November, leaving Williams to continue fending for himself as a rookie.

This was a story in November, and it was covered then. It's not a story anymore, and certainly not something Williams needs to answer for, to anyone.

The page has been turned. Williams is eager to turn things around as well and be the one to do it in Chicago. And the team is willing to support him now, adding in a new coaching staff led by Ben Johnson and more pieces that were needed on the roster.

One of the more underrated additions was veteran quarterback Case Keenum. Over the last few seasons, Keenum has embraced the mentorship role working alongside young quarterbacks such as Jared Goff, Josh Allen, and C.J. Stroud.

All three players expressed how critical it was to have an experienced backup show them the ropes, and it's something Keenum clearly takes pride in.

Last year, the Bears opted against adding a veteran to the room behind Williams. Instead his backups were 2023 undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent and 2024 undrafted free agent Austin Reed. There was no experienced voice in that locker room in Williams' corner outside of a coaching staff that proved to be inept.
