One of the more uncomfortable situations the Chicago Bears are dealing with is Jaquan Brisker. They have already extended Kyler Gordon, a big victory for their 2022 draft class. Brisker is a different issue. He’s been excellent for them when on the field. Unfortunately, multiple injuries have sapped his playing time every year. Last season was his worst, missing all but five games with a concussion. Brisker has one year left on his rookie contract. The Bears can’t justify extending him at this point.

Caleb Williams doesn’t seem to be liked by many people for whatever reason. Some think he’s too soft because he paints his nails and cries after losses. Others believe his highly public interests outside of football make him a prima donna. Either way, it is clear there isn’t much Williams support outside of Chicago. That said, one would think the Bears quarterback has a long list of friends inside the league. He’s known for being a great locker room guy, after all. That assumption would be incorrect.

Chicago Bears fans have been dreaming about Ashton Jeanty for months now. The Boise State running represents the kind of blue-chip talent they need more of on this roster. Yes, he plans a position that is considered of lesser value than others in the 1st round. Still, this draft class isn’t normal compared to others. Premium positions aren’t nearly as stacked as other years. That makes taking good players, regardless of position, the smarter play for teams. Jeanty is one who makes lots of sense.

The Chicago Bears drafted Caleb Williams because they believe he has the capacity to be a franchise quarterback. Williams made his career goals clear from the outset. He is chasing Tom Brady’s record of seven Super Bowl championships. There is nothing wrong with that. If you’re setting goals for yourself, you might as well aim for the mountaintop. What isn’t clear with Williams is how long he actually plans to play in the NFL. Money is already not a motivating factor for him.

Eli Morgan has had a weird opening month to his Cubs career. Now, after a couple painful appearances by the righty, Morgan is headed to the injured list. The 28-year-old reliever allowed back-to-back home runs against the Padres Monday night, and after giving up a third straight hit in the eighth inning to Manny Machado, Morgan was taken out of the game.
