Apologies Abound Following One of the Best Bears Wins of My Lifetime

As the third quarter ended last night and the fourth quarter began, things looked dire for the Chicago Bears. Even the little breath of hope provided by Devan Duvernay's 37-yard punt return in the final minute of the third quarter was largely suffocated when the ensuing possession managed just two yards across seven plays, culminating in a 51-yard Cairo Santos field goal that turned a two-touchdown deficit into...well, still a two-touchdown deficit.

But some of us had seen enough of Caleb Williams dating to his time at Gonzaga College High School, Oklahoma, USC, and with the Bears both this year and last to have hope. Read the thread. However, while that thread ended with hope, it began with the sobering reality of my conscious lifetime as a Bears fan: absolute domination by Green Bay. The Bears were just 15-50 against the Packers from 1994 through Friday with only two quarterbacks having even achieved three wins against Green Bay: both Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton at 3-1. The other Bears QBs from 1994 until Caleb Williams arrived -- excluding Grossman and Orton -- went just 9-48. My God.

But Caleb is here. And everything that could be different is different.

I was ecstatic about the ability to get Caleb to Chicago and have loved riding the wave with him. There are plenty of other players about whom I was right for the 2025 Bears, including but not limited to:

• Luther Burden. He had an imperfect game, but he made a trio of catches and has already reached "gravity" status: on the final Bears' offensive play of the game, Caleb's fake screen to Burden drew two Packers defenders up to the line, allowing DJ Moore to run free for the game-winning score. Love it.
• Rome Odunze, Kyler Gordon, and Jaylon Johnson. All three are good. All three are clearly playing hurt, especially the two DBs. Great efforts.
• Cole Kmet. Man. Kmet just can't get it done as TE2. His blocking remains adequate, but he's basically a non-factor as a pass catcher at this point, still managing to drop a ball in every game. Ugh.
• Ben Johnson. I was soooooo excited for Johnson's arrival, but he's been dramatically better than I even hoped.

Despite the above, I was wrong on a bunch of Bears players to whom I owe an apology. I expected some of these players to struggle when they were acquired whereas others I expected very little of last night. All of them played their roles in making last night's game an all-time great Bears memory. So, in order of intensity, here are the eight Bears to whom I owe an apology.

8. WR Olamide Zaccheus. I was excited for the Zaccheus signing. He was a competent slot receiver who handled a big workload in Washington and seemed like a nice addition for Caleb. In the early part of the season, Zaccheus produced reasonably well. But as the season went along, it became patently obvious that Zaccheus needed to take a back seat to Burden, an emerging star. So, I lamented Zaccheus' snaps yesterday, even yelling out "why?" when I saw him on the field in the red zone...seconds before he caught the club's penultimate touchdown. Sorry, Olamide.

7. DT Chris Williams. Williams is no star. I saw him as an egregious overpay at $3.263M this year on his RFA tender, and I hoped that he'd be inactive on most gamedays behind Grady Jarrett, Gervon Dexter, Shemar Turner, and Andrew Billings. Well, Jarrett struggled mightily in the early part of the season, Billings looked washed, and Turner tore his Achilles in November. The result? 219 nearly average regular season snaps followed by 11 more last night. Williams isn't good, but he isn't bad and that helped last night. Sorry, Chris.

6. DT Grady Jarrett. My big concern in March was that Jarrett was washed, resulting in his new contract being a massive overpay. That concern was justified: Jarrett looks washed and his contract is a significant overpay. However, let's be fair: Jarrett got off to a brutal start and struggled upon returning from injury in October, but he has played considerably better since then. He's not the impact pass rusher that the Bears need on the inside, but his play has been very solid for the last month and a half. 59 quality snaps against the Packers earns an apology. Sorry, Grady.

5. RB D'Andre Swift. Damn. Swift looked like a brutal overpay in free agency after Ryan Poles struck out on Saquon Barkley. And year one? Yikes. Lots of players were worse last year, but Swift was bad. In 2025 though? Swift has made a starring turn, producing a career year at age 26. He has run so much harder down the stretch, fighting for extra yardage with game-changing results. Most notably, he turned a third and four quick out with 1:54 remaining into a 23-yard gain to put the Bears in field goal territory. Huge, huge play. Sorry, D'Andre!

4. LT Ozzy Trapilo. I just couldn't understand drafting Trapilo in April. The Bears used the #10 pick in 2023 Draft on Darnell Wright and got an All-Pro performer. Trapilo played LT at Boston College in 2022 and struggled. So, he moved to RT for 2023 and 2024 and produced good results. That's cool...but a swing tackle in the second round? No thanks. Well, Trapilo didn't look like he'd play much in 2025 for the first month and a half of the season, only playing 40 brutal snaps in Las Vegas. But then Braxton Jones continued to struggle and got hurt and his backup, Theo Benedet, also got hurt. Trapilo entered the starting lineup in Week 12 and never looked back, rounding into form as a plus LT during his rookie year. Incredible. What a performance. His patellar injury -- of unconfirmed severity -- is devastating not just for the 2025 season but also for the 2026 year and possibly Trapilo's career. But being the hero that he is, Trapilo injured his patellar but hopped off the field on one leg to ensure that the Bears didn't lose a timeout inside the two-minute warning, becoming a fan favorite in the process. Wow! Sorry, Ozzy!

3. RG Jonah Jackson. I absolutely despised the Jackson trade and the post-trade extension made things even worse. Then the season rolled around and Jackson was a one-man wrecking crew in the opening week, torpedoing the offense with a dreadful showing against Minnesota. Jackson had a nightmarish Week 18 against Detroit, too, but the 15 games in between? Jackson was very good, a durable, plus starter on the inside. He's no star, but for those of us expecting a dumpster fire, Jackson's above-average season was a revelation. Sorry, Jonah!

2. TE Colston Loveland. My disappointment on Draft night was crippling. I couldn't believe that the Bears passed up Penn State TE Tyler Warren, coming off of one of the greatest collegiate TE season of all time, in favor of a Michigan Wolverine with a bum shoulder. Loveland then performed poorly in his first two games before injuring his hip in Week Three after playing just six snaps, then missing Week Four as a result. The early returns were dreadful. And to make matters worse, by the time Loveland caught two balls on Monday Night Football against Washington on October 13th -- running his season total to five grabs for 54 yards and no scores -- Warren had posted 29 catches for 370 yards and two touchdowns. *Gulp* Well, thankfully for Loveland and the Bears, the season continued. Loveland became a more important part of the offense and then played leading roles in a pair of season-defining wins, grabbing six balls for 118 yards and two scores (including the game winner) in Cincinnati before running roughshod over the Packers last night. As much as it pains me to say it, Loveland looks like a superstar and -- ugh -- an even better fit with Caleb than Warren would have been. Sorry, Colston!

1. K Cairo Santos. As if this could have been anyone else. I despite Santos for a reason as old as time: he's just like me! I was a weak-legged kicker who could kick the ball straight but not drive it powerfully. His inadequate leg strength in prior seasons figured to torpedo more meaningful games this year if Johnson successfully turned around the operation. And he did! It is but a distant memory now, but way back in Week One, Santos missed a 50-year attempt against Minnesota on the first play of the fourth quarter before JJ McCarthy led three touchdown drives. Had Santos made that kick, Odunze's late touchdown catch that brought the Bears within three would've tied the game. He nearly did it again in Minneapolis, missing wide from 45 yards out in the fourth before hitting from 48 on the game's final play to win the game. His kickoffs have been inconsistent, though his most successful kicks -- low line drives that bounce through the landing zone -- are fantastic.

Regardless, when the weather turned cold, Santos got hot. In particular, his 47-yarder against Pittsburgh was the difference in that game, his perfect day against Green Bay on December 20th got that game to overtime, and his perfect day yesterday was impressive enough on its own...but when contrasted with the disastrous performance from Brandon McManus, Santos and his low-trajectory kicks were crucial. Had Santos missed any of his five kicks, Green Bay would've been able to tie or win the game with a McManus field goal. But whereas McManus hooked a field goal and an extra point while pushing another field goal, Santos nailed his kicks. Had Cody Parkey made his final kick as a Bear in January 2019, the playoff victory drought would've been much shorter. But Parkey, rather famously, double-doinked that season away. Santos delivered, as he has almost all season. I'm surprised. But kudos. Sorry, Cairo!

I've been really underwhelmed by Gervon Dexter this year and frustrated by Tremaine Edmunds over the past month or so. Perhaps they'll combine for five sacks against the Rams!

One More Pre-Playoffs Chicago Bears Mock 2026 Offseason

Earlier, I went through a full mock offseason. But a single mock draft is always so underwhelming, so here's another mock draft with the yielded roster assuming the same free agency period with signings of S Jaquan Brisker, TE Noah Fant, and LB D'Marco Jackson (more detail here).

#29: Bears draft Clemson DE T.J. Parker
The true best-case scenario. Parker and Oregon's Matayo Uiagalelei are the most likely gets at #29. Parker is the dream, even though he isn't quite as tall and quite as long as Dennis Allen wants, he's a plug and play three-down DE given his ability to stop the run.

#61: Bears draft Oregon S Dillon Thieneman
Thieneman continually makes it into this late-2nd round territory and I just don't get it. He looks like a star. He's a complete player. If he was 6-2, I think he'd go in the top half of the 1st round. For now, I'll be ecstatic taking him here instead.

There were good DT options here and there won't be later, but Thieneman is too good to pass up here.

#93: Bears draft Florida State DT Darrell Jackson Jr.
I had to pass on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren to make this pick, but I think that's OK. Jackson is fun. His athletic profile is outrageous at 6'5, 337 lbs. with a 7-2 wingspan. I'm not certain how good Jackson is at the moment, but he's a good run defender now in a physique. It's worth the shot here.

Bears trade #124, #207, #242, and #248 to Denver for #108
This is a lot of depth to surrender. But, given the roster construction at hand, it's worthwhile to get...

#108: Bears draft Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez
Rodriguez is an incredibly fun prospect. He was an elite college player against the run and the pass, and he has enough measurables to assume that he can start in the NFL despite average speed. But the best part of the profile? He was a QB at Virginia before transferring to Texas Tech to become a LB. He reads the field exceptionally well. Oh wait; the actual best part of the profile? He's the spiritual successor to the Peanut Punch. Rodriguez must be a Bear.

Bears trade TE Cole Kmet to New York Jets for #139
Referenced in the earlier blog post, this is needed for cap space.

#139: Bears draft Texas S Michael Taaffe
Taaffe has a really interesting profile. He's way underweight at 190 lbs. But he's overcome that at Texas, brings tons of special teams value, and his primary limitation -- tackling in the box -- is the primary strength of Brisker and Thieneman. Taaffe can play off of those guys well, even serving as Kyler Gordon's backup in the slot. He'd be a nice roster fit.

#168: Bears draft Georgia TE Lawson Luckie
Luckie isn't a great prospect. He's a subpar blocking TE in an offense that definitely wants its TEs to block. But he's a strong receiving target and can serve as a quality red zone receiving option as he develops the rest of his game. I needed to give Ben Johnson something in this Draft!

Proof:

QB (3): Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, FREE AGENT

RB (4): D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, FREE AGENT, FREE AGENT

TE (4): Colston Loveland, Noah Fant, Lawson Luckie, FREE AGENT

WR (5): D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Jahdae Walker, FREE AGENT

OT (4): Darnell Wright, Ozzy Trapilo, Theo Benedet, FREE AGENT

OG (3): Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson, Kiran Amegadjie

C (2):   Drew Dalman, Luke Newman

DE (5): Montez Sweat, Dayo Odeyingbo, Austin Booker, Daniel Hardy, T.J. Parker

DT (5): Grady Jarrett, Gervon Dexter, Shemar Turner, Darrell Jackson Jr, FREE AGENT

ILB (2): T.J. Edwards, D'Marco Jackson

OLB (4): Amen Ogbongbemiga, Noah Sewell, Ruben Hyppolite, Jacob Rodriguez

CB (6): Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Tyrique Stevenson, Josh Blackwell, Terell Smith, Zah Frazier

S (5):  Jaquan Brisker, Dillon Thieneman, Michael Taaffe, FREE AGENT, FREE AGENT

SP (3): Cairo Santos, Tory Taylor, FREE AGENT

I never know how these mocks are going to go when I start. But this one offers a really nice contrast to the one in the prior post. That mock featured tons of depth additions across the roster, but the combination of Parker and Thieneman at the top of this class is just better. I could've gone a few different directions in the 3rd round, but I'm increasingly convinced that the Bears need to add a mid-round DT prospect to pour some extra juice into that room.

Enjoy!

Chicago Bears Mock 2026 Offseason: Looking Ahead Before the Playoffs

This blog and its writer will shift focus exclusively to the NFL playoffs next week. This is a strange feeling. At this point in the year, I'm normally locked in on free agency and digging into draft prep. But no. This year, it'll be all about the Packers, Rams, 49ers, or Seahawks.

So, before next week starts, here's my first real look to the 2026 Bears.

Internal Decisions

Thankfully, the 2026 Bears have no questions at the top: Ben Johnson will be the head coach. Nice! It's plausible that Declan Doyle and/or Dennis Allen could leave for promotions elsewhere, but for now, we'll assume that the coaching staff remains the same.

Turning to the roster, the Bears find themselves in a salary cap crunch for the first time in a long time. Spotrac shows the roster at $300.9M of spending against an adjusted cap of $309.4M, but that's before (i) a practice squad, (ii) signing the Draft class, and (iii) filling out the remaining unfilled roster spots with minimum-salary players. Functionally, the Bears are $14.4M over the 2026 cap before cutting players and/or restructuring deals; this also doesn't leave the roughly $10M of cap space that teams like to leave for in-season roster churn. Additionally, there's no Nate Davis or Gerald Everett on this roster, a floundering player with a big cap number but minimal dead cap left behind when cut.

Instead, there are a few players who offer meaningful cap savings if they are jettisoned. Namely:

• LB Tremaine Edmunds: $17.4M cap number, $2.4M dead cap
• TE Cole Kmet: $11.6M cap number, $3.2M dead cap
• RB D'Andre Swift: $8.8M cap number, $1.3M dead cap

Edmunds has had a solid season, but nothing close to a $15M net season given the market value for LBs. He figures to be cut, creating an opening next to TJ Edwards. Swift is more likely to receive an extension than be cut at this point after a very impressive season. Kmet is tricky. He's underwhelming, but an $8.4M net cap number isn't outrageous and the TE market is sparse. I wonder if Kmet might get a modest extension that lowers his cap number. TE is simply too important to the Ben Johnson offense to get thin at that spot. Unfortunately, cap needs dictate Kmet moving on. But unlike Edmunds, Kmet should have market value on a one-year, $10M deal which is what an acquiring team would obtain. We'll say Kmet gets shipped out for a 5th-round pick.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Bears feature two players from the 2023 Draft class likely to earn Proven Performance Escalator pay bumps in DT Gervon Dexter and CB Tyrique Stevenson. Dexter has underwhelmed this year after looking like an ascending player, but he's going to stick around in a starting capacity, especially given his remaining upside as a pass rusher. Stevenson has enjoyed a nice bounce-back season after a disastrous 2024, buried in the shadow of a breakout season by Nahshon Wright. Both Dexter and Stevenson will see their base salaries jump from $1.6M to $3.5M next year, adding $3.8M against the cap.

Noah Sewell was likely headed for a release, but his Achilles injury complicates the expected cap savings if he remains unable to play in 2026. For now, we'll assume that he stays on the roster even if he's only available to play on the back half of the schedule.

For now, let's assume minimal movement:

• Edmunds cut ($15M net cap savings, $2.4M dead cap)
• Swift stays on his current deal (no cap change)
• Kmet is traded for a 5th-round pick
• Dexter and Stevenson stay, receiving their PPEs ($3.8M net cap addition)
• RB Roschon Johnson cut ($1.1M net cap savings, $0.2M dead cap)
• ERFA OT Theo Benedet and RFA DE Daniel Hardy both return on minimum deals
• Yes, I know that Hardy doesn't actually need to come back on a minimum deal, but it seems awfully likely.

All we've done is generate $11.2M in cap space while creating a hole at WLB.

Free Agency

Last year, the approach in free agency was clear: add talent in the interior offensive line and along the defensive line. Enter Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson, Dayo Odeyingbo, and Grady Jarrett before the Draft weekend additions of Ozzy Trapilo, Shemar Turner, and Luke Newman. The additions on the offensive line were dramatically more impactful than the defensive additions. So it goes.

This year, the goals are clear but the ability to plug them is tough. To wit:

• Safeties matter. Both Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker are free agents. So are Jonathan Owens, Elijah Hicks, and Jaylon Jones. That's...all of them. Gotta get some safeties.
• Who is bringing the pass rush juice? Top-level DEs are very expensive and the Bears lack the cap space to make a play for Trey Hendrickson or another free agent without engaging in the type of cap shenanigans that they have otherwise avoided.
• Who replaces Edmunds at LB? I expect a modest free agent signing.
• Is Zah Frazier going to play football again? And did Terell Smith's patellar heal appropriately? If not, and assuming that Nahshon Wright proves way too expensive to bring back, the Bears need a bit more depth at CB.
• Is Kiran Amegadjie still a developmental OL prospect? If so, great! He becomes the top backup at G, replacing Ryan Bates. If not, the Bears need to find another developmental OL.

Free agency isn't going to offer a ton of solutions. But it can help heading into the Draft. The biggest needs are at LB, TE, and S. Spotrac projects personal favorite S Jaquan Brisker to receive a three-year, $34.1M deal. Brisker isn't a star, but he's the heart and soul of the Bears defense. While I don't like the idea of engaging in cap shenanigans, I'd be very tempted to find a way to sign Brisker if the Bears can keep his Y1 cap hit in the $7M neighborhood.

• Bears sign TE Noah Fant to a one-year, $3M deal
• Fant is no star. But he's a low-end starting-caliber TE who can thrive in the TE2 or TE3 slot for the Bears and parlay a year in Ben Johnson's offense into a heftier payday next offseason.
• Bears extend C Drew Dalman via a two-year, $30M extension
• The value of this deal shows itself below. Dalman proved to be an idyllic fit in Johnson's offense and he'll be just 28 next year. After years of disastrous play at the pivot, Dalman has been a godsend for Bears fans. Dalman carries a $14M cap hit, but this extension reworks his deal by reducing his 2026 base salary from $11M to $2M with his new deal including a $10M signing bonus to give him $1M in additional 2026 money, guarantees in 2027, and more job security going forward. It also frees up $6.5M of 2026 cap space, which is great because...
• Bears sign S Jaquan Brisker to a three-year, $34.1M deal
• Here we go. Setting aside workout/roster bonuses, we'll follow the Josh Metellus deal and say that Brisker gets a $12M signing bonus on a deal that includes a $3M base salary in 2026. That keeps Brisker's 2026 cap hit right at $7M. That'll play. He'd get something like $25M guaranteed with this structure.
• If we figure that his base salaries/roster bonuses in 2027 and 2028 need to account for $19M, we'll give him $9M in 2027 and $10M in 2028, yielding cap numbers in those seasons of $13M and $14M respectively. Not ideal but not unworkable.
• Brisker is a risky extension candidate given his history of concussions, but he's a key leader on defense. Losing both Brisker and Byard would be painful.
• Bears sign LB D'Marco Jackson to a one-year, $2M deal
• Jackson has played well in limited action this year. He has also played his way into a core special teams role. Can the Bears afford to carry Amen Ogbongbemiga and Jackson? I think so, especially as a hedge against Ruben Hyppolite being unplayable at LB.

If you're underwhelmed by this free agency period, understood -- me too! Such is life up at the cap line.

Draft

Good teams make their moves at the Draft. Assuming the free agency period above, the Bears enter the Draft with a few absolutely massive needs, as follows:

• DE
• While Sweat, Odeyingbo, and Booker figure to eat most of the reps, the Bears need an infusion of talent, especially given the likelihood that Sweat and Odeyingbo aren't here in 2027.
• DT
• The only DTs on the roster would be Jarrett, Dexter, and Shemar Turner as he returns from a torn ACL.
• TE2/TE3
• S

Entering the Draft, all of the starting spots would be filled, at least nominally, except for the S job next to Brisker. So here goes:

Bears trade TE Cole Kmet to New York Jets for #139

Technically a 4th, but it's the last pick of the compensatory selections and allows the Jets to bring in a big target for their new QB.

#29: Bears draft Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald

No way McDonald makes it this far, right? Well, he has basically the same athletic profile as Tyleik Williams, another Ohio State DT who made it to #28 last year. McDonald would be an ideal fit for this roster. I gave heavy consideration to Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq and Utah OT Caleb Lomu here, too. Both represent excellent value. The DE options were less compelling.

Bears trade #61 to Kansas City for #73, #129, and a 2027 4th

USC S Kamari Ramsey would've been the pick here, but he went off the board at #60. So, this trade brings in some extra picks despite only moderate value.

#73: Bears draft Toledo S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren

I'm in deep on EMW. Deep. He's go the look of a cornerstone defender with the springiness and attitude to make big plays. Putting him next to Brisker is a great look at the back of the secondary.

#93: Bears draft Penn State S Zakee Wheatley

OK, this was really tough. I settled on Wheatley for four reasons. First, Wheatley is a turnover machine. Second, the safety depth chart is still scary until he joins the party. Third, the relative value of my other choice -- Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez -- isn't quite as high as another safety. And fourth, Dennis Allen started playing some three-safety looks. I would've preferred DE Dani Dennis-Sutton in this spot, but he didn't make it that far.

#124: Cincinnati TE Joe Royer

I took another big risk here, delaying the DE pick yet again. But ensuring that I got Royer in the building was worth it. Ben Johnson is going to have fun with Royer, a former Ohio State TE who shined as a Bearcat.

#129: Ohio State DE Kenyatta Jackson

Unfortunately, my risk at #124 hurt as Notre Dame DE Boubacar Traore came off the board at #125. Of course Philly nabbed my DE. Ugh. That yields an overdraft in this spot. Jackson looks like he'll be able to step in a run defender, but he lacks the explosiveness of an exciting pass rusher. Bummer. He does have the kind of frame that Dennis Allen wants.

#139: Louisville DE Clev Lubin

Lubin is a really interesting, riskier pick. It would be better for this roster to take a LB, RB, or even WR. But no. It's Lubin. Lubin is basically the opposite profile to Jackson. Jackson was a top-50 recruit from football factory Chaminade-Madonna in Florida who spent four years at Ohio State. Lubin, on the other hand, went to Army, then Iowa Western, then Coastal Carolina, and then finally Louisville. At both Coastal Carolina and Louisville, Lubin used his electric first step to cause havoc as a pass rusher. At 6'3", 250 lbs., he lacks the size to play 4-3 DE in anything other than an obvious passing situation. But at #139, it's worth buying his upside as a pass rusher.

#168: Houston TE Tanner Koziol

The success of the WR room opened up this option and caused me to reallocate a roster spot from a 6th WR to a 4th TE. Koziol is a polished receiver and a subpar blocker. If he develops as a blocker, great! If not, he's a nice addition as a receiving threat here.

#207: TCU WR Eric McAlister

McAlister comes with some off-field baggage, but he's got the body of an NFL WR and enjoyed a massive season this year for the Horned Frogs (72/1,190/10).

#242: Oregon RB Noah Whittington

This is guaranteed to work out as well as Monangai, right?

#248: Iowa S Xavier Nwankpa

I still love Nwankpa, even though he clearly lacks the speed to be a serious NFL safety.

QB (3): Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent, FREE AGENT

RB (3): D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, Noah Whittington

TE (4): Colston Loveland, Noah Fant, Joe Royer, Tanner Koziol

WR (5): D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Jahdae Walker, Eric McAlister

OT (4): Darnell Wright, Ozzy Trapilo, Theo Benedet, FREE AGENT

OG (3): Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson, Kiran Amegadjie

C (2):   Drew Dalman, Luke Newman

DE (6): Montez Sweat, Dayo Odeyingbo, Austin Booker, Daniel Hardy, Kenyatta Jackson, Clev Lubin

DT (4): Grady Jarrett, Gervon Dexter, Shemar Turner, Kayden McDonald

ILB (2): T.J. Edwards, D'Marco Jackson

OLB (3): Amen Ogbongbemiga, Noah Sewell, Ruben Hyppolite

CB (6): Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Tyrique Stevenson, Josh Blackwell, Terell Smith, Zah Frazier

S (5):  Jaquan Brisker, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Zakee Wheatley, Xavier Nwankpa, FREE AGENT

SP (3): Cairo Santos, Tory Taylor, FREE AGENT

Proof from PFF below:

Not bad. But realistically, most of the improvement for this team will need to come from within. No pressure, Caleb!
