Summary

It’s a special birthday edition of The Charter as Clay Harbor is joined by Gabe Ramirez of 670 The Score and The Chicago Lead. The two dive deep into the Chicago Bears' biggest training camp questions, including how Ben Johnson will tailor his offense to Caleb Williams, expectations for Year 2 growth, and what remains the biggest hole on the roster. Plus, how does Caleb stack up against last year’s quarterback class? And can the Bears actually sneak into the playoffs this season? All that and more—with a few birthday shoutouts mixed in.
