Episode Details

The Chicago Bears offseason is officially in the books, and Haize is breaking down the biggest winners and losers from OTAs, minicamp, and the full offseason program.

Caleb Williams continues to look like the face of the franchise after a breakout season under Ben Johnson, landing the Madden 27 cover and entering Year 2 in the same offense with even more weapons around him. But he isn’t the only Bears player whose stock is rising.

Rookie wide receiver Zavion Thomas has been one of the biggest surprises of the offseason, flashing his elite speed and playmaking ability while making a strong case for a role in Ben Johnson’s offense and the return game. Luther Burden III is also building major momentum as he looks ready for a bigger role after the departure of DJ Moore.

Haize also dives into Jaylon Johnson’s return, Kyler Gordon’s injury concerns, Kevin Warren’s stadium struggles, and why Jedrick Wills Jr. may already be in danger of missing the Bears’ 53-man roster.

Plus, Ryan Poles deserves credit for cleaning up the Bears’ financial situation after inheriting a dead-cap disaster, and new data suggests Colston Loveland could be headed for a massive second season as one of Caleb Williams’ top red-zone weapons.
