<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a> will be responsible on the field for leading his Chicago Bears into contention in the NFC North. It won’t be easy, of course. And that’s why, in recent hours, they’ve added an experienced NFL veteran, who was a teammate of Josh Allen in the Buffalo Bills among others, to be his new backup on the roster.


 


<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/case-keenum">Case Keenum</a>, one of the most experienced players at his position, reached an agreement with the franchise and joins Ben Johnson’s team after his last stint with the Houston Texans, where he served as a mentor to CJ Stroud.



The news was revealed hours ago by NFL insider Adam Schefter through his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where he provided more details regarding the veteran QB’s arrival to the Bears.



“Veteran QB Case Keenum is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3 million with the Chicago Bears, per source. Keenum now will help mentor Caleb Williams in Chicago like he did for CJ Stroud in Houston,” the insider reported via @AdamSchefter.

Keenum’s arrival in Chicago aims primarily to provide an experienced <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> backup if needed, while also offering his mentorship to a young Williams, who still has much to prove.

<h2>Keenum’s extensive NFL career</h2>



With the main goal of surrounding Caleb Williams with the best support possible for the upcoming season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> have secured the services of one of the most experienced quarterbacks currently in the league.



Case Keenum entered the NFL in 2012 as an undrafted free agent, signing a deal with the Houston Texans, a team he would return to on two more occasions. Additionally, he had stints with the St. Louis Rams, which later became the Los Angeles Rams, the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Washington Redskins, and Cleveland Browns.



In 2022, the quarterback reached an agreement with the Buffalo Bills and joined their ranks in Orchard Park, where he shared the roster with the current league MVP, Josh Allen. His stay lasted a single season before he returned once again to the Texans.

<h2>Johnson is betting on Williams’ talent</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson">Ben Johnson</a> knows that with Caleb Williams, he has his primary weapon to take down any opponent next season. In a recent conversation with the media, published through profootballnetwork.com, the former Lions OC made it clear why he’s betting on the former USC standout.


 


“He’s [Williams] been predominantly a shotgun quarterback for most of his high school and college career, and so he’s very comfortable there. We’re going to work to see the comfort level under center and how much of that applies.” He also added: “Whether that works for us in Chicago, time will tell.”

This new era for the Detroit Lions in the NFL will feature some different faces compared to the ones that had a great campaign last season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson">Ben Johnson</a> is one of those who will no longer be alongside Dan Campbell, as he became the new head coach of the Chicago Bears. It was none other than a key teammate of Jared Goff who spoke about his absence as they look ahead.


 


Sam LaPorta arrived in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit</a> at the start of 2023, after being selected in the second round of the draft from the Iowa Hawkeyes. During his last season, he became a key piece in Johnson’s system, a relationship that we will no longer see moving forward in the league.



In a recent conversation with Kay Adams on the Up &amp; Adams Show, the talented tight end shared his feelings after the sudden departure of the now former offensive coordinator of the Lions to a direct rival in the NFC North.



“It hurts, of course,” he started. “You spend a lot of time with these people, invest a lot of energy and effort and hard work together. You know it’s mutual, you’re excited that he’s gonna run his own team and organization and have a lot on his plate. So, just very exciting times for him, and it is exciting times for us too as we turn towards our new staff and have a bright future as well.”

“Of course, happy for Ben,” the tight end said. “He was one of the big reasons they brought me into the Lions. Nothing but respect for him, but again, on Sunday afternoons this fall, there will be friends turned to enemies.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/lions-secure-an-important-player-for-dan-campbell-jared-goff-ahead-of-the-2025-nfl-season"></div>


<h2>LaPorta’s strong connection with Goff</h2>



Selected with the 34th pick in the second round of the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Draft, Sam LaPorta has gradually become one of the key figures at his position, developing a strong connection with his quarterback, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jared-goff">Jared Goff</a>.



In his first season as a Lion, he played all 17 games, starting in 14 of them. In total, he scored 10 touchdowns, recording 16 receptions for 889 yards.



Last season, when his team even made it to the playoffs, LaPorta played 16 regular-season games (starting in all of them), and totaled 7 touchdowns. He recorded 60 receptions for 726 yards.


 


With the arrival of John Morton as the new offensive coordinator in Detroit, it is expected that not only will the tight end maintain these statistics, but also potentially surpass them.

As the NFL‘s free agency season began with some big moves, the newly added Ben Johnson to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> made one of the most significant and impactful improvements, catching the attention of his former player in Detroit Lions, Amon-Ra St. Brown.



In a recent appearance on his podcast, @StBrownPodcast, the former USC Trojans player was stunned by the number of moves his former coach made during the free agency process, especially impressed by the significant amount of money the Bears invested in multiple players.



“I feel like the Bears have unlimited (expletive) money. This (expletive) is crazy,” St. Brown said. “They’re just signing new (expletive) for like $40 million dollars.”



“They have unlimited money. What the (expletive) is this?” the talented wide receiver also added. “Ben is making moves left and right.”

<h2>The Bears’ additions</h2>



The NFC North was one of the most competitive divisions last season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, with the exception of the Chicago Bears, who ended with a losing record, finishing at the bottom of the standings.



In an effort to move past last season, the Windy City placed its bet on the talent of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson">Ben Johnson</a> as the new head coach. With him, a massive influx of top-tier talent is now joining the Bears’ roster.



So far, the following reinforcements have joined Chicago for the upcoming season: Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney, and Jonah Jackson, while the defense was strengthened with Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo.

<h2>Surrounding Caleb Williams with the best possible support</h2>



The Bears are looking to be the breakout team next season in the NFL, and to achieve that, they are slowly starting to shape the roster that will represent them on the field.



Relying on the talent of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a>, both the coaching staff and the front office will focus on surrounding the former USC star with the best possible support, allowing him to fully develop his game.


 


With free agency underway and the draft ahead, it will be a matter of seeing which positions still need reinforcement to achieve solid performance across all lines for the upcoming season.

The upcoming NFL season will see several teams looking to improve their image after what they showed last year. The Chicago Bears are among them, and the hiring of Ben Johnson as head coach is a clear indication of that. The former Lions OC will now work alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a>, and together, they aim to turn the franchise’s fortunes around in the short term, with hopes of becoming contenders in the NFC North.


 


As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Scouting Combine unfolds in Indianapolis, the newly appointed head coach of the Bears took some time to speak with the press, making it clear how excited he is to work with Caleb Williams, a player he holds in high regard.



“The out of structure, off schedule, the creation, that’s what stands out the most, because that’s where the league is going right now. As much you want to make true progression, 1 to 2 to 3, there’s just too much variety,” Johnson said.



“The pass rush is coming down and to have an athlete like Caleb extend the play and potentially find an explosive down the field, that’s what gets me going. I get excited thinking about that because I haven’t been around that since I’ve been in the league but I’ve been on the other side and it’s demoralizing when you’re on the other side and you’re watching that happen to your defense.”

There’s a lot of anticipation surrounding what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-johnson">Johnson</a> and Williams can achieve together. The real test will come in Week 1, when it remains to be seen if they can truly gel and produce the results everyone is hoping for.

<h2>Ryan Poles’ thoughts on the Johnson-Williams partnership</h2>



The excitement in Chicago during this period of change is undeniable. After a turbulent season that saw the Bears finish at the bottom of the NFC North, the focus now shifts solely to turning things around.



Ryan Poles, the team’s GM, spoke with the press and shared his enthusiasm about the potential success that Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson can achieve working together.


 


“There’s some things in the development of a young quarterback you’ve got to have, and I know that he’s going to hit that first and really help him be the best professional football player he can possibly be. But I love the excitement from both Ben and from Caleb. I know he’s eager to get started and work with Ben and get his career going in Year Two,” Poles stated.

The star who has arrived to lead the team to the top has been named the seventh highest-paid coach in the league, with a contract that exceeds ten million annually. As a result, his fortune has increased significantly.



Before joining the team led by quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a>, he played a crucial role as the offensive coordinator for the Lions, helping the team build one of the most impressive offenses in the league.

Pro Football Talk confirmed that this amount is $5 million more than the $8 million earned by first-year head coaches on average. This indicates that not only is he one of the most sought-after coaches, but also one of the most successful.



As confirmed by Fox Sports, this deal positions him as the seventh highest-paid head coach in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, surpassing figures like John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens and Kyle Shanahan of the San Francisco 49ers.



Before joining the Bears, he was the offensive coordinator for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a>, where he played a crucial role in revitalizing the team’s offense. His success, especially in the development of QB Jared Goff, helped elevate his profile.



His $65 million contract with the Chicago Bears represents a significant increase in his income, reflecting the trust the franchise has placed in his ability to lead the team to success. This is the beginning of a path filled with great things for him.



<h2>What is Ben Johnson’s salary?</h2>



As mentioned earlier, Ben Johnson, the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, signed a five-year contract worth $65 million, which equates to an annual salary of $13 million, according to Sports Illustrated and Marca.

Although they were unable to cap off their impressive campaign with a Super Bowl appearance, the Detroit Lions‘ season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> was undoubtedly outstanding. A large part of that success can be credited to the excellent work done by Dan Campbell‘s coaching staff. After their elimination, Ben Johnson confirmed his move to the Chicago Bears, and following this development, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jared-goff">Jared Goff</a> spoke to the press about what it meant to have him as a coach.


 


“He’s a hell of a coach. He’s a guy that’s made a ton of difference in my career,” Goff said in an interview with SiriusXM. “I’m obviously a big fan of his. I was joking with him, I wish he didn’t have to be in our division so I didn’t have to try to beat him twice a year.



“But he’s going to do a great job. Hopefully not too good, though, with us being in the division together still. But I’ll always be a fan of his and we’ll always have a good relationship,” he also added.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Lions</a>‘ offense was one of the most efficient last season, and much of that success can be attributed to the great work done by Ben Johnson. Going forward, Dan Campbell’s team will look to further improve upon their campaign in the upcoming season.

<h2>Goff reflects on his feelings about the arrival of John Morton</h2>



Ben Johnson’s departure to Chicago undoubtedly left a tough void to fill in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-campbell">Dan Campbell</a>‘s staff. The Lions quickly found a replacement to kick off the offseason with a full coaching staff, securing the arrival of John Morton for the role.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/eagles-hc-nick-sirianni-advises-jameis-winston-on-his-next-nfl-destination-ahead-of-super-bowl"></div>


Jared Goff is excited about this new project and believes that working alongside John Morton will pay off. In recent statements to SiriusXM, the former Rams QB expressed his enthusiasm for what’s to come, as he has previously worked with the new offensive coordinator in the past.


 


“We were together in 2022, he was an assistant on our staff, and has done it before. He’s been a coordinator before, has a lot of experience in our league, been around a lot of great coaches,” Goff said. “I’m excited to work with him and see where we can go.”

As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Matt Nagy</a> prepares for Super Bowl LIX, he won’t be leading a team as head coach but instead serving as the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles. During Opening Night, he took a moment to offer some advice to Ben Johnson on what his top two priorities should be with the Bears.



In a brief statement to CHGO Bears, Nagy delivered a funny message to Johnson: “Win. And beat the Packers.” He knows firsthand how difficult that can be in Chicago, having spent four seasons as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Bears</a>’ head coach himself and reaching the playoffs only two times.



Nagy didn’t have it as bad with the Bears as some exaggerate; in fact, in the four seasons he served as head coach, he reached two Wild Card games, losing both, but his overall record was 34-31. Since he left the position, no other head coach has been able to lead the team back to the postseason.



Ben Johnson has never been a head coach before, but he recently left Detroit, where he was the offensive coordinator for the dangerous Lions, who currently have one of the most lethal offenses in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. So far, these have been two significant jobs in the league, where he has been working since 2012 when he started as an offensive assistant.

<h2>Why did Nagy mention winning against the Packers?</h2>



During his tenure as head coach of the Bears, Nagy managed to win just one game against the Packers and lost seven others. Six of those were part of a long losing streak of 11 games without a win until it finally ended on January 5, 2025, with a 24-22 victory at Lambeau Field. The overall series is led by the Packers with 108-96-6.



<h2>Ben Johnson’s Grand Entry to Take Control of the Bears</h2>



For his first experience as a head coach, Ben Johnson is being treated like a king, with a substantial $65 million contract. So far, the franchise is filling out a highly competent coaching staff, with the most recent addition being Calvin Johnson Jr. as the wide receivers coach. Another significant hire was Eric Bieniemy as the RBs coach.

Ben Johnson has sparked major controversy in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> following his introductory press conference as the new head coach of the Chicago Bears. The former offensive coordinator of the Lions made a shocking statement about Matt LaFleur and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a>.



“I know this is the toughest division in football right now. There are three teams that made the playoffs this year. I’ve got tremendous amount of respect for the coaches and the players in this league. Having competed against them for the last six years. Dan Campbell, Kevin O’Connell, you’re talking about two guys that are up for Coach of the Year awards as the season ends here. And to be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year (laughs).”



Johnson will face the great challenge of mentoring Caleb Williams to lead the Bears to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>. However, no one expected him to kick off his new journey by throwing that kind of jab at one of his colleagues in the NFC North.



<h2>Is Ben Johnson the new Bears coach?</h2>



Ben Johnson is now officially the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, and according to a report by Mike Florio, he will reportedly earn around $13 million per season. He was one of the most sought-after names following his brilliant work as the offensive coordinator for the Lions.


 

 


“I wanted this job. I do have a message here for the players. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. The bar has been set higher than it’s ever been set before. I get goosebumps right now just thinking about being the head coach of the Chicago Bears. I know what this role and this responsibility requires and I cannot wait to get to work.”

Chicago Bears unveiled their new head coach, Ben Johnson, who touched on several topics during a press conference ahead of the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. What is clear is that the former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator had a direct message for quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a>.



The head coach-quarterback relationship has to be a foundation for the rebuilding of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Bears</a>, who endured turbulence last season, compiling a 5-12 record. Next season, Johnson and Williams will look to return Chicago to the playoffs for the first time in five years.



Everyone on the Bears’ roster gathered to welcome the franchise’s new head coach, but the spotlight was on Johnson’s words about Williams to find out what plays the Chicago quarterback will have to lead in his second year as a pro.



<h2>Ben Johnson’s clear message to Caleb Williams</h2>



“We’re going to have to spend a lot of time together. The quarterback has to see the game through the play caller’s eyes. This is not simply a a dropping of a previous playbook down on the table and starting there. We are ripping this thing to the studs and we are going to build it up with Caleb first and foremost and then with the pieces around him next“, clearly declared Johnson to Williams and the rest of the team at his first press conference in his new job.

“This place is a sleeping giant. Our mission is to win and win now. There is no doubt that good things can happen in 2025. It depends on how hard we are willing to work and how much we are willing to sacrifice. I’m deeply committed to finding a way to make this work,” said the new Bears head coach.
