Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is fired up about the team’s latest offseason moves as the legal tampering period of NFL free agency opened on Monday.
Head coach Ben Johnson’s squad is aiming higher in 2026 after a breakthrough campaign last season. That magical run included the NFC North title, a first playoff win since 2010 and a 12-5 finish.
Williams was at the center of it all. The second-year signal-caller threw for a franchise-record 3,942 yards and 27 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. He also spearheaded six fourth-quarter comebacks along the way.
The 24-year-old is getting even more help this upcoming season, and he can’t wait to get back on the gridiron with his new teammates.
NFL: Caleb Williams hyped after Chicago Bears land Coby Bryant, Devin Bush
The Bears wasted no time reshaping their defense in the 2026 offseason. They agreed to terms with Coby Bryant on a three-year, $40 million deal on Monday.
The 26-year-old Super Bowl champion was one of the most coveted safeties on the free agent market. He recorded 66 tackles and four interceptions in 15 games last season for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Bears kept moving and also agreed to sign Devin Bush to a three-year, $30 million deal. The former No. 10 overall pick turned in the best season of his career with the Browns in 2025. He notched 125 tackles, three interceptions and two sacks across 17 starts.
Meanwhile, Williams wasted no time welcoming his new teammates. The second-year quarterback reposted news of both signings on his Instagram Stories, making his excitement clear. Williams was left speechless by the news, opting to share the signing announcements without any caption.
The moves give Williams even more reason to be confident heading into 2026. Chicago’s offense ranked sixth in the NFL in total yards per game (379.2) last season, and the defense now features two proven playmakers capable of creating turnovers.
Williams has stayed invested throughout the offseason. Earlier this week, he reacted to the Bears’ trade for New England Patriots center Garrett Bradbury.
Ben Johnson’s squad also added defensive tackle Neville Gallimore and re-signed linebacker D’Marco Jackson.
The Bears’ front office is committed to building a complete roster around their franchise quarterback. If the early offseason is any indication, Williams has plenty of reasons to be excited about 2026.
