Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, kicked off the offseason program at Halas Hall, expressing his excitement to return. Having navigated a tumultuous rookie season with multiple head coaches and coordinators, Williams is poised for a fresh start under new offensive play-caller Ben Johnson, who was appointed after the Bears significantly increased their coaching budget. Major roster upgrades include the signings of offensive linemen Joe Thuney and Drew Dalman, aiming to solidify a previously weak offensive line.

The Bears' offseason plans have raised expectations, with management seeking to reverse a trend of disappointing seasons. Johnson emphasizes clear communication and structured practices to revitalize a struggling franchise that has not had a winning record since 2018.
