Tom Brady Gets Bold Caleb Williams Guarantee for 2025 NFL Season

The 2024 NFL season was full of challenges for Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. They won just five games against 12 losses to finish last in the NFC North. They were the only team from that division to not make the NFL playoffs.

Chicago went 4-2 in its four six games of that season before a brutal 10-game losing skid.

Nevertheless, there are reasons for the Bears to feel good about their chances in the coming season, with a more experienced Williams under center and some key changes on the team, including the hiring of former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to be the franchise's new head coach.

Success is always hard to come by in the NFL, which the Bears can surely attest to, as they have not posted a record better than .500 in each of the last six seasons. But one man who knows what it's like to reach the top of the football world is Tom Brady, who recently got to FaceTime Williams after pulling one of the Bears quarterback's signed cards.

During their conversation, which was posted by CHGO Bears on X, the seven-time Super Bowl champion asked Williams whether the card is "gonna be worth more or less" after the 2025 season. The former USC Trojans star signal-caller responded to Brady by saying "a lot [expletive] more!"

"Alright, good," Brady replied. "That's what I want to hear."

Selected first overall in the 2024 NFL draft, Williams, who also won the 2022 Heisman Trophy, put together a decent rookie season in the pros, as he threw for a total of 3,541 yards and 20 touchdowns with six interceptions on a 62.5 percent completion rate.

However, the Bears finished last in the league in total offense with just 4,820 yards and 27th in terms of expected points on offense.
