Caleb Williams, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, is expected to negotiate a contract extension soon. Sources suggest the extension could make Williams the highest-paid QB in Bears history and potentially among the top-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. After a strong performance leading the Bears, Williams has established himself as a top 10 QB after just two seasons. Discussions may center around a five-year deal worth around $310 million, which would include significant guarantees. The Bears are evaluating their roster as they prepare to engage Williams and other veterans over the next 12 months.
