“Caleb Williams Already Making Waves for the Bears Without Being Drafted Yet”
The decision to delay Caleb Williams’ physical with the Bears until after USC’s pro day on March 20 speaks volumes about the current quarterback situation.
Reported by SI.com’s Albert Breer, the Williams camp opted against having him undergo a physical during his Top 30 visit with the Bears.
Typically, Top 30 visits occur in April or late March and provide teams and players with the opportunity to learn more about each other. However, a brief meeting at the combine or after a campus workout isn’t sufficient to provide comprehensive information.
Here’s how Williams’ decision is shaping the Bears’ immediate and future plans:
1. Confirmation of Justin Fields’ Departure: The Bears’ urgency to have Williams undergo a physical suggests that they’ve already decided to trade Justin Fields. General Manager Ryan Poles’ remarks at the combine hinted at this, and Williams’ situation reinforces it.
2. Fields’ Departure Was Preordained: The Bears likely concluded that Fields wouldn’t return based on their offseason evaluations, possibly dating back to last year’s trade with Carolina. Their readiness to trade Fields indicates they’ve had a plan in place for some time.
3. Williams’ Assertiveness: Williams’ refusal to provide medical information and delay his visit indicates that he may not be as compliant as other players. This suggests a potential shift in how the Bears handle player autonomy, with Williams possibly requiring more negotiation over contracts and other matters.
4. Reconsidering Draft Priorities: With Williams likely the chosen direction, the Bears may reevaluate their draft priorities. Instead of prioritizing a wide receiver to complement the new quarterback, they might focus on bolstering their offensive line to provide better protection for Williams.
In conclusion, even before the draft, Williams’ influence on the Bears’ decision-making process is evident.
