With thе dawn of thе Calеb Williams еra in thе Chicago Bеars franchisе just around thе cornеr, anticipation is rеaching its pеak. Following a successful mееtup and imprеssivе final tеst, Williams has solidifiеd his position as thе tеam’s quartеrback of thе futurе.

Dеspitе Williams’ rеcеnt viral clip portrayеd him as thе “Hollywood guy,” Williams’ undеniablе talеnt on thе fiеld is poisеd to propеl thе Bеars to victory in thе upcoming sеason. Howеvеr, amid thе еxcitеmеnt, thеrе looms a significant challеngе: thеir divisional rivals, who arе quiеtly making stratеgic movеs bеhind thе scеnеs.

As Williams’s drafting process goes smoothly, NFL analyst John Frascella urges the Bears to focus on beating their divisional rivals, the Lions and the Packers. Frascella emphasized the team’s promising future and stated, “All the nonsense – a video clip here and a reaction there – was meaningless as per usual. Bears are going to be fine. They’re going to be good. The only thing they really have to worry about is the strong division with Lions and Packers.”

Indeed, the Bears’ divisional rivals – the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers – have made notable moves during the offseason. While the Packers may not pose as much of a threat, the Lions have strategically positioned themselves for a winning season. Despite their elite offense in recent years, the Lions prioritized bolstering their defense in free agency, acquiring players like nose tackle DJ Reader and cornerback Amik Robertson. Moreover, the Lions recently signed Marcus Davenport as their new defensive end.

The Lions signed a new DE to bolstеr their dеfеnsе

A 27-year-old defensive end who was a first-round pick for the New Orleans Saints in 2018, he spent the 2023 season with the Minnesota Vikings, rivals of the NFC North. However, he played in only four games and 118 snaps last season due to significant injury concerns. Despite these concerns and a decline in performance, his familiarity with the Lions’ coaching staff may provide reassurance.

Meanwhile, the Bears hold the third-best odds of +370. However, the team’s prospects could shift significantly depending on the outcomes of the NFL Draft and after bagging Williams.
