The Chicago Bears handed the starting job to quarterback Caleb Williams in the offseason when they drafted the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner and USC star with the No. 1 overall pick. He could solidify a position that has historically haunted the founding NFL franchise. But bringing in Williams wasn't the only big move. The Bears made a blockbuster trade for a playmaking receiver for the second year in a row when they acquired six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. Last year, they sent the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft to Carolina for DJ Moore. Chicago got the Panthers' 2024 first-rounder in that deal for Moore and used it to take Williams.
