  • FTT Episode... The Big News Broke That Connor Williams Is Healthy and Shopping Teams To Sign With BEFORE TRAINING CAMP
    The also reported that he'll be healthy to suit up and play week 1
    The Bears should be among the frontrunners with CBS Sports reporting the best fits for Williams are The Bears, Eagles, Titans, Giants, and Chargers.
    At 27 years old and ascending every year, he would be perfect to match up a vet with a rookie for his rookie deal.

    Hey Adam! This is more of a personal comment than a Bears comment.
    I'm responding to you mentioning that you have several personal goals. I want to strongly encourage you inacomplishing all of them but to also set ONE that is measurable over the short term. This will keep you motivated as you reach bench marks. I say this as a cancer survivor.
    I began chemotherapy treatment for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in January of 2020, I completed the treatment in June of the same year, was in lockdown due to Covid, and was unable to walk without the help of a cane. I became a whale as I balooned up to 220 pounds!
    I was able to begin exercising in 2021 and have since regained all lost muscle mass as a result of taking a slow approach. Now my weight is down to 175. By the way, I am 100% cancer free! So, I share this to encourage you not to put too much pressure on yourself and shoot for the slow and steady approach. You will feel great during this process.
    Good luck to you, keep up the great content, and as always, ... BEAR DOWN!

      Great advice too! I've actually been very disciplined in every aspect of my life until recent struggles that really set me back more than I expected them to. One day at a time, small goals is a great way to go. Thank you!

    Bears being in on Connor Williams says alot. If he passes the medicals, i doubt they let another team outbid them. Connor would help Caleb so much man. People don't get what a Vet Center does for a Young QB. Promise Hurts and Philly ain't as good w/o Kelce. Which, Did he Retire? Did Philly fill that role? If not, Connor pry ends up in Philly 😢.

    I would rather they sign him for 4 million base and an 8 million signing bonus over the 4 years. That way he only counts for 6 mil this year against the cap, but he still gets 12 mil this year in his injury year.

    Thanks for the content, so helpful to seevthe numbers. Our Oline would be so set with Williams if he is healthy. If Davis could return to form this Oline could be awesome! If that happens do you make Caleb more of a game manager or turn him loose?

    • @Beardownsports
      @Beardownsports  3 місяці тому

      I say you turn him loose either way. You won't see that week 1, but I absolutely am in the mindset that you let him fly. That's why Stroud succeeded. Stroud's was let loose. His poor passer rating was among the worst, his ADJ% suffered, but for a rookie that got supported with that deep ball throwing it only built his confidence.
