Summary

Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor open the show by unpacking the latest Chicago Bears coaching staff updates, highlighting new additions and internal promotions that could shape the team moving forward. The conversation then turns to rookie quarterback Caleb Williams making an appearance on the podcast hosted by Maxx Crosby, and what that crossover says about Williams’ growing presence around the league. The duo also explores a bold hypothetical involving a potential Bears pursuit of Crosby, even weighing the idea of moving wide receiver DJ Moore in a blockbuster scenario. They react to reports linking the Arizona Cardinals to Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, then look ahead to the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine, with Harbor sharing insight from his own draft experience and why the next key dates matter so much for prospects.
