Halas Intrigue
The Bears have known since January that they were set to play a game in London this year. Now, they have a date and an opponent.
The offensive lineman is expected to earn about $5.6 million over four years.
The Bears signed six players who tried out for the team during rookie minicamp over the weekend.
Instead of using it for a new stadium complex, how about we give that lakefront land to citizens to enjoy?
The Sun-Times’ Bears experts — Patrick Finley, Jason Lieser and Mark Potash — break down the team’s dynamic offseason to this point.
How good is he? Good enough that he might be bad coach–proof.
Benedet has a long way to go, but the Bears are optimistic he can climb from undrafted rookie to part of their future.
The biggest responsibility veteran receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen might have is to aid the development of first-round pick Odunze.
“It was like watching Tiger Woods when he makes a great shot on the golf course with the fist pump he’s got,” Iowa special-teams coach LeVar Woods said.
One of the three men who helped craft the NFL’s new kickoff-return rule thinks his returner will benefit from it.
In his first year at Halas Hall, it will be Shane Waldron’s job to ensure that Williams has more highlights than grind-it-out moments in his rookie season. Both are starting in a good place.
Odunze will miss Saturday’s practice with hamstring tightness.
Jackson, one of Williams’ good friends, caught 35 passes for 267 yards last season after transferring to Nevada. He is in camp on a tryout basis.
The rookie wide receiver has plenty of confidence but also a healthy appreciation for playing with fellow rookie Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick: “Coming in with a rookie quarterback allows us to grow together and learn this offense together. It’s a blessing.”
On top of everything else that sparks optimism at Halas Hall right now, Williams showed up to rookie minicamp well ahead of where most players in his position would be.
The last time Eberflus was part of a team with a rookie as its primary quarterback, it was by accident.
There was never any doubt, but it does signal a smarter approach than they took with Justin Fields and Mitch Trubisky.
Williams has been working on learning and practicing the Bears’ offense for at least a month.
The tackle is recovering from a quad injury he suffered last year at Yale.
