The Chicago Bears will have a new quarterback for the 2024 NFL season. Caleb Williams is set to make his debut against the Tennessee Titans, but the quarterback has received a strong warning from the AFC South team ahead of their matchup.

In 2023, the Bears decided to trade their 1st overall pick to the Carolina Panthers. The NFC South club traded their 2024 1st-round pick to Chicago for it, in a brilliant move by the team from Illinois.

As the Panthers finished with the worst record last year, they allowed Chicago to have this year’s 1st overall pick. With it, the Bears selected Caleb Williams, who many analysts think could be the franchise quarterback the team has been searching for a long time.
