One of the most fun surprises this season has been the Chicago Bears, but we shouldn’t be surprised.
They went out and made a no-brainer hire in Ben Johnson, crafted one of the best offensive line units in the league, and surrounded second-year QB Caleb Williams with more weapons in the draft.

Dennis Allen was another fantastic hire at DC this summer, and the Bears’ defense has been one of the best units in football when it comes to taking the ball away. One of the reasons for this has been the play of CB Nahshon Wright.
Wright is a free agent this upcoming season, and today, he let the world know how he feels about it.

Nahshon Wright makes his thoughts on the Chicago Bears clear
This season, Nahshon Wright has been a major component of the Chicago defense leading the NFL in takeaways. Injuries to both Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon gave Wright the chance to see the field, and his play kept him there.
Nahshon Wright not only has been great when targeted with 10 passes defended (20th in NFL), but he’s also punished opposing QBs for testing him by coming away with five INTs this season (2nd in NFL).
When he was asked about his impending free agency coming up this summer, Nahshon Wright said, “I would like to be here…they believed in me.”
The Bears, I’m sure, would like to bring him back as well if his play continues like this into next season. He’s done just about everything he could to prove his case to bring him back, and he’s got four more games and a playoff run to add to it.
