It doesn't matter in the end what he wants. He has no leverage IF he wants the money that come with an NFL QB taken at the top of the draft. I don't think that Elway, Bo Jackson or Eli Manning would be able to pull off today what they did years ago. The money is too great. He can't make even 1/4 with the NIL money that he'd get in a signing bonus from who ever drafted him. His first contract 4 years + option year + tag are all guaranteed. Thats 8 figures just for signing the paper. Daniel Jones made $25,000,000 his first 3 years. Mitch made $27,000,000 just in Chicago alone. Bryce Young made $25,000,000 just this season (his guarantee at signing was $24,600,000!!!

Even if he does hold out, he's not a free agent. He goes back into the draft the following season. Thats CBA rules.

I don't want the Bears to draft him, either. Overrated and too arrogant and immature for my taste. Either draft Drake Maye or go another year w/ Fields.

thespun.com/nfl/fake-caleb-williams-report-is-duping-the-sports-world

Countless NFL fans are currently talking about USC quarterback Caleb Williams this Friday due to a "report" from an X account under the name of Wesley Steinberg.

On Friday afternoon, a fake report regarding Williams was posted by Steinberg. The post states that he doesn't want to play for the Chicago Bears.

This is where the MSU is strong. So is it fake news that he doesn't want to play for Chicago or is it fake news that it is fake news? The mind boggles....

There is no source cited in this “report.”

On all the social media platforms I visit it has been completely debunked. And was seriously challenged shortly after it was posted.

Guys, no matter what crapola Williams or his family have said (and this is FAKE), he's gonna play for whoever drafts him. And no team is giving him "equity".

The guys agent is gonna have him buttoned up the next few months. There's millions on the line here.

And honestly we don't know if ANY of this stuff is legit from Caleb. The Bears will drill down on Williams and may find out he's a solid young man and all of the social media stuff was just bull.

I have a theory that Carter deliberately messed up his interview with Poles so that he could go to the Eagles. I have no proof. It just makes sense. Likewise, if Williams doesn’t want to play for the Bears, this is a way to get out. However, I don’t know why he would prefer the Commanders.

I don't know why he would either. The Bears look to be an ascending team that has the draft and FA $$$ resources to put a very very solid team around the QB1 - and an exciting young OC (a couple of these candidates are really good). I would be surprised if Caleb would want to go to the Commanders who are not in a good place right now as compared with the Bears... keeping in mind that the 1st overall pick of the draft is going to a crap team... that is how the NFL draft works. The WORST teams get the high pick. If he thinks he can hide in college for another year and get a better team, well he's an idiot. And honestly I don't believe he is an idiot. I think all of this rumor stuff is just that. Baseless rumor.

Right. The Commanders are next in line. You can bet he’ll do his best to impress Poles.

But what do you think about my Carter theory? I think he did it with Seahawks, too. Although by all accounts, Pete Carroll really loved Witherspoon.

He is from Washington so he has a lot of Family there.

And it won't be long to find out what he is doing. Williams has until Monday to declare.
