Ryan Poles got Shane Waldron fired, not Caleb Williams.

Williams has been making the most of bad (OL) situation all year. If anyone thinks our OL situation is bad, try watching a Bears game.

In the London game against Jacksonville, he was able to carve them up despite the constant pressure.

The Bears chose to build around WR's over OL (sound familiar?), so its no wonder they are in this position. Luckily for them, they don't have a lot of other needs on the roster and they have Carolina's second round pick, so they will attack the OL in the draft, along with their $80M+ in cap space.

Its hard to fire a defensive coach like Eberflus when you consider they've only allowed 21+ points once in the last 16 or 17 games, going back to last year.

That Hail Mary against Washington really took the air out of their sales, 16 days ago they were that close to being 5-2 and the toast of Chicago.

Damn that's a good point, since that Hail Mary the wind has been totally taken out of the windy city

Threatening to not sign a rookie deal and re-enter the 2026 draft.

If a top prospect tells a team he won’t sign with them, that’s a major deterrent for said team. A GM can’t risk a top 5 pick not willing to sign with his club, they’ll move to another prospect.

I encourage these prospects to flex their leverage and try and sway their selection to a preferred destination.

Draft him in the 7th round and let him stew.

John Elway & Eli Manning come to mind.

I feel like back in the day teams held a players rights for more than just one year. I can’t recall exactly but at some point it changed to one year, if the player didn’t sign with the team that drafted him and could re-enter the following year.

Its probably part of the CBA.
 
"When an NFL team drafts a player, they don’t retain the rights to that player indefinitely. The onus is not exclusively on the player — it’s on the franchise as well. Both sides must come to an agreement. If they cannot do so, a team’s rights to a player expire when the new league year begins, allowing that player to return to the draft player pool."
