A coaching overhaul, a franchise quarterback, and more offensive weapons should make the Chicago Bears a better team in 2025, but will it be enough to compete in a stacked division?

Caleb Williams has dominated headlines following a report from ESPN's Seth Wickersham where last year's first overall pick initially considered extreme measures to avoid being drafted by the Chicago Bears.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will not address the many questions about his relationship with the team, at least not yet. Williams skipped a meeting with reporters after Wednesday's OTA practice.

Ben Johnson said he looks at the Bears' troubling track record of developing quarterbacks -- which resurfaced in reporting about Caleb Williams last week -- as an opportunity as he enters his first season in Chicago.

There were a few players absent today including nickle Kyler Gordon, wideout Luther Burden, safety Elijah Hicks, corner Terell Smith, defensive linemen Zacch Pickens and Andrew Billings, and offensive linemen Braxton Jones and Ryan Bates. Rookie tight end Colston Loveland was present but was still sidelined.

Ben Johnson has been all smiles since being hired as the Chicago Bears' newest head coach in January. The 39-year-old has a commanding presence at the podium and has discussed his excitement for getting things started throughout a variety of interviews and press conferences.
