Summary

Hoge & Jahns are LIVE to break down two major developing stories surrounding the Chicago Bears: the future of a new stadium and what’s next for Caleb Williams heading into the 2026 season. The guys are joined by Brenden Moore to discuss the latest on the Bears stadium project, the city’s final push, and the political battle involving Governor J. B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson. Later in the show, Hoge & Jahns react to comments from Bears quarterbacks coach JT Barrett on Caleb Williams’ growth, handling criticism, and improving his completion percentage entering Year 2 under Ben Johnson. Plus, the guys dive into the latest questions at nickel back, including concerns surrounding Kyler Gordon and what the Bears may do next defensively. All that and more on another LIVE edition of Hoge & Jahns. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
