Bears Open Offseason Program With Williams Embracing Harder Push

Chicago resets after a breakout year to target defensive help in the draft.

Overview

  • The Bears began their voluntary offseason program Monday at Halas Hall, starting Phase I workouts three days before the NFL Draft.
  • Caleb Williams called last season a stepping stone and said his aim is to be the best quarterback and win a Super Bowl.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson told Williams he will push him more this spring, and the quarterback welcomed the challenge.
  • Chicago reworked the roster, losing center Drew Dalman to retirement and trading WR DJ Moore while adding S Coby Bryant, LB Devin Bush and WR Kalif Raymond and acquiring C Garrett Bradbury, giving Williams a new center to mesh with.
  • Holding pick No. 25, local reporting points to edge rusher or interior defensive line as top priorities after a 35-sack season that lacked consistent pressure.
